I wouldn't be saddling myself with inflated debt on these houses close to the peak to generate low cash flow.Don't let anyone hard sell you or pressure you to ACT FAST with anything.

It can earn 12% p.a. or 1% per month - generating an income of $2,000/month.For the meantime or until you sell your current residence, you can rent it via Air BnB to generate even more rental income.

Since she is a dual agent, maybe try an appointment with her managing broker, bring a letter in writing and be prepared to discuss that you felt you were pressured into making the offer with the high earnest money deposit and no contingencies (especially if that was the agent's idea and not yours) and that you feel the agent should have pointed out the high-power wires so close to the property (although since they are right there, you probably should have noticed them yourself so not the best excuse), that apparently there were many offers so the seller should not have much trouble selling to someone else quickly and that you want the contract released with your full deposit back due to feeling like you were not represented to your satisfaction and didn't really understand that she was not representing your interests.  

I'm 22 years old, and I work full-time as a Trauma Critical Care Registered Nurse, I attend school full-time, and I am a Staff Sergeant in the US Air Force Reserves.

I've had to put on a new roof (2013), put in a new air conditioning compressor (2014), replaced carpet with 100% tile (2016) and window coverings with shutters (2016).  

I want to replace my recessed lighting with LED retrofit kits as part of the air sealing I'm doing before insulating my attic.

Also keep in mind that major expenses will happen eventually like a roof or air conditioner.

I've seen suggestions to reach out to realtors and interview them.  1) I don't know what to ask 2) I don't want to lead someone on and 3) I don't want any pressure just so they can get a deal done (I've been a contingent recruiter and appreciate why that pressure would be there).Once you pick a city - how do you all pick a suburb or neighborhood?? 

Any sort of disturbance, like sanding paint or sawing fiberboard that contains asbestos, will release the fibers into the air in your home.If the asbestos product is in good shape, or used in an out-of-the-way area -- for example, as insulation for heating or plumbing pipes in your crawlspace or attic -- you may be better off leaving the asbestos in place.Source: http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/hou...

I assume  you're referring to central AC, and not just window air conditioners?
