Pretty amazing to see it just floating there in the Hudson, in one piece just like in a movie.

Jon touched on this, I wanted to elaborate: The main reason is that the bank must be able to balance its fixed/floating assets and liabilities.For example, think of the bank's books when you take a loan.

If you took out a small biz credit card with 0% interest for 12 month in order to buy things for a start up and floated the balance until you start making income to pay it off does it hurt your credit rating?

I am not having these problems yet, but I'm starting to do more of these and these are the questions that float in my mind as possible pitfalls.

And, as long as In and Out doesn't float away, all will be well in my world.

I would have to float the mortgage for 5 months plus renovations but the rents are way under market value.

Where are permits being pulled, where are the areas of development happening, who has plans to move into which sectors of the city (i.e. large business moving into the area like Amazon, Apple, Walmart, Banner, banks, ASU (and all their affiliate campuses and satelitte campuses) Intel, USAirways, Dignity, Amex.. if you can follow where these large employers are bringing in jobs, then housing will follow. 

I had floated the idea of starting a management company for my properties, but believe the tax law requires you manage properties outside of your own, otherwise it is just seen as a pass through.I hadn't heard of conservative easements, I'll research more.

The 2nd unit is now vacant, we already did a new bathroom, now I have to choose whether to do tile again or try a glue down vinyl flooring or try a floating vinyl flooring.

In Tampa region, or any Florida region, (please specify  the region) how much are you finding the sf price to be for installation labor on tile, vs glue down vinyl, vs floating vinyl?
