@Rich Davis "The difference is I'm in Maine, where the evictions laws lean landlord friendly.

The first main purpose of real estate investing(or any other investing) should be the return you are getting.

We then moved to a different state (from Arizona to California) but we knew it would be temporary so we kept our house in Arizona and we rented out the main house as well.  

While the image of yours I found seem to show the main entry to the 2nd floor at ground level, the older the prospective tenant, the less interested they are in a non-ground floor unit. 2) Using another part of the property as storage could limit interest and I could see that as a turn off with folks once they find this out.FYI, the listing I found on realtor.com makes no mention of the tenant not having access the entire property or the basement being used as storage.

PachalAUTHOR · CONSULTANT · SPEAKER · COACH · INVESTORSubject2Institute.comRegarding the insurance aspect of a subject to deal, what are the main questions you would ask an attorney to ensure the deal is structured correctly as it relates to the insurance policy?

The main differences (besides rates/underwriting guidelines) is what you can include in your renovation costs.

Besides the stress, the other main factor that I want to point out is- time and use of money.Wholesaling would have been much faster and that money could be used for the next deal faster.

I Julia, I work the south side mainly.  

If you're anything like me, customer service is the main draw for me when I am choosing any service provider.Look at websites, reviews and testimonials.

I live on the main unit.
