Thanks, and we are OK to pay taxes on the boot, as long as we can salvage some $$ by buying a new rental. 

Can you include all the lawn and yard care? 

In older neighborhoods where yards need some help.  

Things to consider when buying a new build are appliances, fans, blinds, and back yard landscaping; sometimes we can get appliances included, it just depends on the situation.

An example may be:- Rear yard: Minimum 5 feet distance- Side yard: Minimum 5 feet distanceHere is a screenshot of the most recent Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) which outlines setback requirements (pg. 48)ODU Click Here to View4.

Along the way, I discovered hardwood floors under the tile (unfortunately, not salvageable) and replaced them with new hardwood.

Additionally I would add a benefit for you is that you're in great area to be able to invest locally and can invest in your own back yard as they say.

I swept out my dads places when I was 7 for $2 and that is not $2 an hour, mowed 20 rental yards when I was 10. 

I've lived in Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, and California(current residence), and analyzing deals in my "back yard" at each location usually ends with me paying out of pocket to own a rental. 

Care for yard, repairs, and hot tub.
