Hey Rajesh:I looked all over the west coast and couldn't find much in terms of markets/job growth/other infrastructure dev that showed appreciation and cash flow (both) would be very good.

Findlay is a real oppotunity beause you’ve got a combination of stable job sources, a decent population size, and often lower acquisition costs compared to bigger metros.About choosing an agent..

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

I’m in the 33% tax bracket through my real job and this could be a big difference in taxes owed if we sold the property?

Misjudged the job cost (contractor error, usually results in asking for more money)2.

Lost job?

I work at my brothers business as a independent contractor ,  he has an accountant for this business is necessary for him to to this job or i can do it myself.

Licensed contractors have more of their "shtuff" together and thus are better at their job and naturally will cost more.

I lived well below my means, worked a full time job for years while doing this on the side, persisted when others did not... and now I am enjoying the fruits of my labor.
