Much better than most stuffy business shows.Hmm, I want to keep this brief but I have so many thoughts… I am British, my wife French and we both live in Dubai, UAE since 2014.Before moving to Dubai I was considering investing in the UK, shortly after I began educating myself and visiting local REI groups I got this job in Dubai and moved on very short notice.

Navy vet here!

I served for eight years in the worlds greatest Navy. 

I want to be able to just pick up one day and go on a week long vacation with my family without even thinking twice about it.I spent 6 years in the US Navy as a Nuclear Electrician.

By the way, I AM A FRENCH MODEL.

I'm a Civilian Program Analyst for the Navy here on Oahu.  

So that ultimately my husband can retire at 44 when he retires from the Navy.

We got started by buying personal properties and renting them out when my husband is transferred (Navy).

If you are a newbie, you will not believe the conditions tenants will tolerate rather than getting prompt, proper, repairs done.I just re-rented a luxury home where the prior tenant never complained during a five year tenancy about anything, and due to very unusual circumstances a thorough interim inspection was never done:Range hood inopClothes dryer inopGarbage disposal inop5 of 7 exterior area lights inop; two interior circuits inop1 of 6 toilets inop3 of 5 air conditioners inoppool sweep inop5 sets exterior french door handsets so pitted you cut your hand opening the doorsrodent infestation in atticAll this in addition to nearly a complete repaint, stripping and resealing floors that had improper products applied, replacing 4 rooms of carpet, and minor miscellaneous items.Believe me, I would have MUCH preferred to make these repairs as they occurred, paying out of the cash flow, rather than having the owner fork over nearly 20K to make it rent ready again!

New floors, new shaker cabinets, new granite countertops, new backsplash in kitchen, new sinks, new toilets, new faucets, new wall backsplash tile in both bathrooms, new walk in tiled shower, LED light up mirrors, new paint, new electrical outlets, new paint, new windows, new double french doors, new pavers on the outside patio.What was the outcome?
