OK of my soap box.

If it's a rental house, I personally would not worry about it unless I saw exterior cracking through the bricks or there was some issue other than the constantly shifting Texas soil at the root of the problem (e.g. sewer leak under the slab).If you want the peace of mind, get the opinion of a structural engineer, not a foundation company with a vested interest in installing piers.

Even though I know I might not make as high a return as if I lived locally, the different in income definitely makes up for it.And that, my friend, pretty much sums up why rents are high and growing in SF :)Do NOT ASSUME that cash flow will be consistent ... model it based on current actuals, grass roots analysis, and future projections based on long term historical trends.

How to get started with no money and bad credit:Figure out the root cause of why you have no money and bad credit.Attack the problem at its root.Save money.Fix your credit.Invest.Please do not attempt to skip steps 1-4 ... the results will not likely to be positive.

Good thing you've recorded for the record what has transpired.What do you think is the root cause of the tenant's resistance to moving the vehicles?

I'm not sure I understand the root of the complaint actually.

Look to the profile of members and try to understand who they are and why they are here, their agenda tells much about the advice they may give.You may not like what you hear, more often than not, creative arrangements are shot down because the one suggesting the solution does not understand the root of the matter, what I call the "basics". 

I guess the root of this question deals with measuring ROI on your primary residence (living there long term 15+ years) and how to deal with the consideration of holding costs...and how they apply to a primary residence.So our first "deal" in 2014 was the purchase of our primary residence in Boca Raton, FL.

Their findings are the gate is leaning over to the neighbor's side due to the pressure from these roots.

I live in Chicago, and I'm looking at various metro areas within the midwest to potentially plant some roots and start developing relationships (with PMs, Agents, Contractors, etc.)My question is, what are the different variables I should look at when choosing the optimal location?
