Had a partner, who owned 2 duplexes and I just bought 1 from him for 140K (rents are total 1650/month), because I'd like to control the whole complex.Most are in their late 20's or early 30's.

I do see how it could be viewed similar in a way .Lending has definitely loosened up and I’m sure there is some shady things going on that we won’t hear about until it’s too late/after the fact .Subprime lending is back and growing just as an example .

Hello,I have a finished basement with all the needed egress/outlets and I am considering it to convert it into an apartment and there are few areas (kitchen exhaust and kitchen sink) I lack understanding  and would like to better understand what is the best possible way to go about making those changes.I will greatly appreciate if someone can share their experiences on how they went about a setting up a kitchen particularly exhaust for kitchen odors and kitchen sink in a basement

I just finished a career as a professional ballet dancer in Aspen, Colorado but I have been coming to Portland for the last couple of years visiting my husband who moved for an opportunity here. 

The difference comes in the finish.

After speaking to his current landlord, he has never been late on rent and keeps the place spotless.

They have been more aggressive on loans lately and seem hungrier for business but this is on the commercial side for real estate so I do not know about their residential arm. 

Well, we have almost completed an extended rehab - new innards, finished a 950 SF basement, stopped flooding etc.

I assume the same for SC (I have not been quoted by mills lately), but now only play in northern SC counties (Dillon, Marlboro, Marion, some Horry and Florence).

Our duplex is west of Washington and 30th and would generally be considered a "rougher" area, but once we have finished the remodel on the one side it'll probably be rented before the dust settles around where we hammer in the sign.The realtor is now starting to change his numbers.
