Hell I took a course in college that included two textbooks just on Prop 13 (out of 5 for the semester long course, and this was NOT a real estate or finance course), but I still couldn't even calculate simple interest until I entered my current profession, and at no point did that upper division UC Berkeley course include a "practical application" example of the implications of Prop 13.Up until I made "this is Prop 13" a standard part of my 45 minute FTHB "how to adult" thing, I was still getting people once in a while that would say one house is better than another because they pulled the tax bill and it was lower.

In this case, and with your location (which I know well), you may want to take particular notice of the advice given by @Michael Totman and hang on to the units until it's an opputune time to do otherwise.I'm not sure exactly where your property is located, but if it is anywhere near the Naval War College then you shoudl make this change with respect to War College semester changeovers.

The first thing that I want to do is get my Real Estate License and maybe a part time job in real estate after my semester is over.

Because these are primarily college housing units and the school semester had already started we decided to focus on renovations that would allow us to raise the rent.

After seeing the house later that week, they immediately loved it and agreed to sign at $2,250 per person per semester with all utilities (except water&sewer) paid by the tenants.

Presumably, they will graduate at some point and if say it's at the end of the Spring semester, they could be wanting to leave in May, but have a lease that doesn't end until late August.

Currently my financial situation requires prudence and meticulous planning because:  FICO score (solution is steady work over time to build credit by repaying old debt);Family needs me close (solution is care for my geriatric mother at reduced living expenses);Transportation (solution is this weekend I've saved enough for a down payment to finance a used car);Taxes (solution is to hire a CPA and consult with a real estate attorney to get my 2004-05 taxes satisfied);Experience In The Industry (solution was to attend full college courseload for a semester and major in Building Construction Technology - Construction Management.

Hello everyone, I'm Andrew, and I have a few thoughts and questions for you all.First off, I am currently a college student studying Political Science with about 2 semesters remaining until I obtain my Bachelor's Degree.

It's cost effective and taking the class over the course of a semester ensures you have time to read the book, absorb the information, and have opportunity to ask the instructor as many questions as you like.

CCIM consists of 6-7 semesters.
