I have asked the tenant to run the water to see if it improves, but i also plan on going by and doing as you suggested with the water hose to flush the water heater. it appears to not be "too old", but i will need to keep an eye on the performence.

The properties that I have my eye on are multi family dwellings (nothing less than 5 to 6 bedrooms) and rent it to students (all with an individual lease in their parents name)

. - Keeping a close eye on this.But there are many good resources and thoughts out there on how crowdfunding laws will come about.

The book is what initially opened my eyes REI and have heard numerous investors say the same.

Antonio Bodley You and I definitely see eye to eye on credit cards and student debt.

Several government foreclosures (HUD, Fannie mae, Freddie mac and possibly VA homes) have a two week priority period for owner occupants and if you can keep an eye on these sites and pull the trigger when there is a property with equity it might be a better way to capitalize on your housing than simply trying to capture rent check each month.

LOL that's funny Karen Rittenhouse, I kinda like a little red... it livens it up - but I can see where too much might bother your eyes.

It was eye opening and had no idea one can even do that.

What I know is that a good rehab in the few areas I work or keep am eye on are 5 days or less on market and most closing within 40 days.

(Besides writing down what "meets the eye!")
