And that's the fact that the main entry point from an intrinsic standpoint on RE was during the outlier period.Real estate is not an intrinsic day 1 asset.

I work with mainly buy and hold investors here in Cincinnati.

Quote from @Robert Geraghty: Arthur, Greetings from Maine!

.- Lifetime limit: The $10,000 is a lifetime limit, meaning you can only use it once for this purpose.- Taxes: While the 10% penalty is waived, the withdrawn amount will still be subject to regular income taxes.This can be a useful way to access funds for a home purchase, but keep in mind the tax implications and the potential impact on your retirement savings.

My main goal is to find something relatively close to the DMV area but without the DMV price tag.

If it's zero, put in a zero, line through it, or something.If you don't use a manager, line through the entire clause and then you and the renter should initial the beginning and end of the line as proof it was agreed to.NHG  (D) As used in this Lease, Landlord’s “Authorized Management Agent” means ______________________________, address:___________________________,who is also authorized to act on behalf of Owner for the purpose of Service of Process and accepting Notices  NHGYes, you would check the line next to the form(s) of payment you accept.

I PURPOSELY try to have these people bounce.

I worked for a property management company that requires all potential tenants to check into the main office prior to showing as a means to provide a safe showing for the employees.

Are you building for pure investment purposes or are you looking to use some of the space for personal/personal business use?

Duplexes have less risk:  Mainly because you have less tenant risk (but we will address that on the next paragraph).
