@Benjamin Black  You have higher interest rate for primary home so cash out will help in your  loan scenario. 75% LTV is max  cash out in conventional loan for 1 unit.

One though is to have the town resurface the road/driveway  with black top and also divert any water away from the house. 

I'm interested - Black Cup next week Tuesday?

The large corps / institutional investors behind those buildings don't have flexibility on price due to their construction costs,   while anybody who has held a building for even 5 years around here can if necessary reduce rents a bit to keep things occupied if necessary and stay in the black.  

I currently have 3 dogs; a German Shepherd, Black lab, and a chihuahua, however, something has occurred to me several times already, how am I going to handle me having 3 dogs if in the future my tenants have pets?

Whereas a 20-something white person with middle-class parents who goes down to the bar, gets drunk, and gets in a fight might receive an aggravated assault charge he gets 30 days in the local slam for, a 20-something black person raised in poverty is far more like to get a terroristic threats charge, a battery charge, and is then charged with resisting arrest.

Its more than black and white with me being licensed.

@Jim Welch the things that stand out to me are why have black appliances?

GooGLE Black Diamond Waltham real estate.

Many of the investors in RI are on here, others can be found in local networking groups like RIREIG or Black Diamond REI, and many others you only encounter out "in the wild" when you're doing deals.
