I communicate frequently with their bookkeeper about my payables and balances, they handle all the city inspections and schedule, they handle the day to day maintenance , they handle all the rent collections very well.it's been a year now, since then the freedom has allowed me to double my personal portfolio, and winter in Florida instead of Michigan.

Anyone else experience the mystery of a double pane window developing a crack on the inner pane only?

In NV I might not take double the taxed valued. 

@Tamar Hermes by all means learn, ask questions and double check.

If you know how to play with stocks, now might be a good time to double your money in a year or less.

So you would be at a total of just under $300k to maybe $350k (to be conservative) Where in Pasadena, assuming a great flow and design that is cohesive and aesthetically pleasing would give you a value of about $550 to $700 per sq ft : at $600 per sq ft value X 1000 square feet: that would be an added value of $600k (depending on neighborhood and comparable homes )Spend $350k to get a value of almost double: $600k Take timing into account, holding costs, utilities and think if you will want to live in the property ?

We just did a double wide job site trailer that was the bank branch while they were building the new branch.

Lastly, each of the properties I've analyzed have been on MLS for atleast 90 days - double the average closing timeframe.  

Having the HOA is a double edged sword, they ensure things are kept in great working order and you don't have to be there to inspect the roof etc.

I was originally going to finance this as a long term rental but near closing they wanted to charge me a double digit interest rate...
