thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

The cleanout is about 10-15 feet from the curb, but they had to snake 70 feet, suggesting a potential city sewer issue.The plumber mentioned that if I report this to the city, they will likely request a secondary cleanout closer to the curb, which I would have to install at my expense (a costly job).

Purchase price: $265,000 Cash invested: $40,000 3/2 1728sqftLake access What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I think over the foreseeable future we will see this continue due to rising prices in those markets like California and New York.

It's more like BRR(hold)RR now.Yes!! 

Being a broker in Western Washington and an investor in Tacoma, I completely understand the challenge of getting started in this market.

Quote from @Melissa Stanley: This is a tough one.

@NA NASince this is your first purchase, focus on finding a property where the numbers work, rather than just any deal.

It’s paid off, I would “like” to leave it that way & maximize the cash flow while paying down the heloc between the rental & other income.  

Once they do so, they get access to Roku free channels & can login to any streaming service they'd like with their own login.
