But it just depends on your risk threshold and how much you're looking to spend.  

It is easy to spend thousands of dollars in marketing and have nothing to show for it.

We also had the option of another type of policy that was even less expensive that would have required us to spend at least 1 night in the house and rent it at least 30 nights each year.

When I talked to a rep they said I could not be refunded that amount and now my trial has expired, so in order to spend my $48.61 I would need to spend $59 for the month. 

thanks. you will spend more time trying to figure out whether or not its required than actually completing the form. it takes five minutes. 

Even at that threshold budgets are tight. 3.

Spend the time, make the effort, and (hopefully) reap the rewards.

In Phoenix, a 1996 build is practically brand new when compared to a WWI-era home in Cleveland or Pittsburgh or some other Midwest or East coast city.While I agree that older homes come with more problems, buying something newer may not work as the price will be higher and won't cash flow as well.I'm of the mindset to buy what fits your budget and investment goals.

New York is hard to evict people and you'll end up spending more time and money doing it yourself.
