Hey all,I did a search and didn't find anything on this topic.I was chatting with an agent to day about a killer prop---total rehab in Sta Barbara---and he said it's pending---for the 2nd time and he'd like a back up offer.

Or just get some king of termite killer and spray the area, then install a new board?

But the rental prices are killer.

Thats a killer deal but not found in my market. 

This would probably be a deal killer as this would add a huge out of pocket for us in the down payment and closing costs to finance this ourselves.

And you may even come across a killer deal that you can flip and make your year with.

Also took 5 months to rent a rehabbed property (an ABSOLUTE ROI KILLER).

Talk about killer research, thank you so much!

Turnovers and vacancies are the cash flow killers for long term small multi family investments from what I have seen.

it is for the reasons described above were I think Texas is a very difficult buy and hold market.Tax's are just a killer to cash flow.. in most other markets your tax's would be about half.. once your homeowner exemption goes away how high  will they go.Also in my experience there foundations go wonky over a course of time so your putting 3 to 5k into your home to keep it level.. etc etc etc.but for ease of running it..
