Stay within your means and remember a rising tide lifts all ships.

However FHMLC recently sent out an update, and I believe they also clarified that they want to see landlord ship experience.

I'm waiting for shuttle to cruise ship so limited on time.1.

The security deposit isn't just to cover damage, so reducing it based on the premise the tenant is going to keep the property in ship shape is dangerous.

Usually, the bank owned properties must go through a court case before they are shipped off to someplace that the bank does not want to waste money on.

Because it was a brand new product, the distributor/installer (whom i do a lot of work with, and is still on my **** list for this) forgot to mention that the transitions for the wood did not exist yet and would not be in the US until July...well its July 22nd and the transitions are still on the shipping container.

The cabinet guy is local - however I know they are shipped to him so I can ask him about other distributors if you want.

If he did place it in service in 1991 that depreciation ship has sailed, if he wants more depreciation he either needs new assets or a new property.

I agree with Bishoy,job growth and steady large employers are key to determining a healthy rental area.Indianapolis,Memphis and Dallas are great because they have affordable properties to buy to rent to steady employees like truck drivers,FedEx,UPS,and air cargo employees whose jobs aren't being shipped to China or anywhere else.Alabama has car and aircraft manufacturers growing and moving in there.North Carolina has techies escaping the high cost of California.God knows everybody is looking to move to Texas for manufacturing what little we still make in America.Georgia has become one of the biggest areas for filming Hollywood movies cheaper.That is where my money is headed in the next 3 years of buying properties.

For the most part, the tenants keep their homes ship shape.
