I'm just trying to get started in REI in Columbus too.Make sure you check out the podcasts, they are filled with great information.

We used to sell quite a few homes in the same manner to fill our parks and this year stopped that avenue completely.

Claims must be filled within a time frame, like 90 or 120 days.

The rule to remember is legally you are both one, until legally severed from each other which happens at final filling.

Seek other markets where the numbers make sense and keep your inner circle filled with those who are always searching for a solid deal.

Looking outside of Rock Springs, I could look for metro areas that are either within a two-hour drive or a cheap direct flight.

They only get there when, as Rick H. says the gap needs to be filled?

im not sure as we did it before marriage.Im guessing things to avoid before purchase would be name change and filling taxes jointly.

So factor in the repair costs, vacancy, and headache of filling all of these units.Sometimes it's better to start with a clean slate anyway.

If the numbers work doing nothing or very little, then you can fill it (month-to-month or 6-mo leases), catch your breath, and develop a plan to force appreciation if it will support it.
