One tenant’s unit is very messy; while the other did a bunch of unauthorized and shoddy alterations to the unit.We’re thinking the best way to handle this is to contact them (in writing and in person) after settlement and announce our intentions.

That also reminded me of the L-Train Shut down announcement.

@Joe Splitrock I didn't post it to announce to the world how annoyed I was, but rather to raise a topic that I felt no one had addressed. 

How do we post Meetup announcements for local folks Josh?

Philip WilliamsHey, thanks for announcing yourself.

Sandra C.Welcome to the vibrant BP community, where you will find like minded individuals committed to REI and also helping others succeed.I added some links on rentals and sense this is the niche you are looking to focus on, while pondering which option to use to get started with inputs from the BP community. http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/04/how-to-rent-your-house/ (house rental guide)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/02/22/buying-rental-property/ (how to buy a rental property)Your time on this social media site will be well spent.You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.Whether you pursue, wholesale, rehab & fIip or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.The bottom line is that you must take action to start.

We have set up a meet up page for you to RSVP at and also to be informed of our meetings, if you miss the announcement here.

Otherwise, I would guess that panel/installation costs have still not fallen enough to make this a practical move.I'm curious to see what the cost is on the new solar roofing announced by Solar City/Tesla.  

The bill that was announced yesterday did not include removing the exemption for owner occupied homes so you’re fine. 

Castle seems to have gone MIA since announcing they are closing 2.
