Jeremy Hicks at Guild Mortgage in Central Oregon Hi @Christina Tsutsui-Tharp!

Do you meet your guest at check-in and collect it then?

I bought my first house 2 years ago for 255k 20% down at 6.375% APR.

@Jenna Chen,Congrats at making your start in REI. 

Hey there @Natalie Hernandez - Welcome to BiggerPockets and kudos to you for posting here about where you are at on your journey! 

Ask to look at 3-4 years worth of taxes before deciding on your property.

On a side note I also used John Maher at Key Properties to sell< purchase and run my property if you don’t have that lined up yet.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: A few things I noticed, in addition to having the tenant pay the utilities are:1) Incorporate annual increases in rent higher than 2% (in your area, maybe 4%-5%) with a slightly smaller increase in operating expenses (say 2%-3%)2) With a gut rehab, I'm not sure why you need to spend $128/month on cap ex, at least for the first year or 2.3a) An 80% cash out refi is probably going to be hard to get.

Like my title says, I am a dentist in the Kansas City area and am looking at real estate to be my retirement plan.

Her lawyer told her that she really needs to increase the rent she is charging her father-in-law to to $800/month, but when we were looking at her finances today, she has only actually been getting $150/month.
