This is a great site, and paired with local connections are really helping build up my knowledge and confidence.

@Matt C.You might pair the lease with a lease bonus they select from things that improve the unit, a ceiling fan, paint a room new faucets or shower heads.Paul

I bought a pair of duplexes with one tenant already in place for $18k using a private loan of $20k which also covered closing costs a small amount of repairs.

My name is James Pair.

That's exactly the type of property that I'm interested in.I am by no means an expert, but I"m always happy to bounce ideas back and forth, or to give you a second pair of eyes on possible deals.

My realtor wants to list my condo at $750,000 which would give me about $400,000 in proceeds after the mortgage is paid off.Does it make sense to purchase a pair of investment homes outright (possibly a triplex and a slightly nicer duplex to owner occupy), or should I apply for mortgages and put the rest of the money in my savings?

Toledo uses Republic Services for trash pickup...the city contract allows a "bulk pickup" to be scheduled each month free of charge.My building is scheduled for Spring Cleaning on Tuesday night (I have a pair of guys just assigned to help organize, inspect, and handle anything heavy to be moved for the elderly tenants) but we should have a massive offering for the trash truck on Wednesday.

In my 8-unit building I have a pair of coin-op machines. 

If you're interested in flipping, your best bet would be to pair up with an investor who is actively rehabbing properties in the local Denver area and put in your share of sweat equity while you learn the ropes.

A paired sales analysis or multi-linear regression is used to extract a dollar amount for the difference in condition.
