Lets say the tree is perfectly healthy and there was no cause for this other than wind. thanks,

You bought in a "perfect" market where prices are good, funding is pretty easy, and rentals are strong.

They find a $300,000 house in perfect condition and want to write up an offer of $185,000 because, "that's what I need to make it cash flow."

It works perfectly and I am now able to assign different key codes for each guest, deleting the code when a guest leaves.

The agencies have a small loan program so this is a perfect fit.

We raised rent and only one person wanted to leave which was perfect because we needed to move in to one of the units anyway.

Myself and a friend of mine have been wanting to start investing and we think that this is the perfect time to do so.

The first deal is always the hardest one, but the faster you get going the easier it gets.I would definitely talk to @Eudith Vacio she works for KW and I know she is doing some investing in NW Indiana, sounds like that could be a perfect fit ;-)Also, I am happy to talk or help in any way I can. 

@Tom Knox That's a perfectly valid 1031 with some really nice added benefits. 

I have waterproofed exterior stairs, decks and roofs/balconies over living space where it has to be perfect.
