Still, this is a poor time in the rental season and 1 months rent can be expected as a cost of vacancy (in addition to the cost to clean and touch up - $900) .Finally and I hope this is is the last one lol - Another tenant is moving out Jan 31st and this unit also requires a full cosmetic rehab.

Finally, we asked Maria to escalate this to an unknown Kiavi staff member.

Add some nuk power generation FINALLY and lower household utility costs another 5%, adding a bit more to disposable incomes. 

They do not want the other person's name on the deed or the mortgage once the dirvorce is finalized.   

I just completed my 20 hour course for my Illinois Mortgage Lending License and the final step is taking the state exam.

We see it all the time with the conversations on what cars/vehicles folks drive :) here in BP there is a badge of honor to drive a 20 year old 250k mile car/truck :) Myself I saw my dad do some of this although he never got to the utra wealthy stage by a long shot but made good money in RE however it was not until he bought old style timeshare in Maui that he would finally take a vacation..

The combination of its growing tech & healthcare sector, long-term resilience to climate change, and relative affordability makes it an interesting place to start our real estate journey.I spent a big part of my career in hospitality real estate consulting at a Big 4 firm, but I left to explore new opportunities and decided it was finally time to take the leap into real estate investing.

I've seen estimates that are off by 300% when all said and done (e.g. the original bid was $10k but the final cost was closer to $30k).

I ended up having to pay for their tax preparer’s time to (finally) meet with me and make corrections.
