Congrats so far, anyway.As a rule of thumb, so long as its gross rent per month is at least 1% what you paid for the property, you should be able to leverage it up to about 70-75% LTV before it starts to regularly cash flow negatively.

There are some properties that look good at first but are on too small a lot to do an extension or are already halfway through a remodel or somewhat updated and I always pass on them in those cases.

They consistently send me updates so I know whats going on. 

There is no such thing as privacy.I my case I keep my identity private to avoid the prying eyes of poverty pimps that are regularly monitoring forums looking for tenant rights violations.

Account Closed Update on your investment?

If you looking to update the back for added square footage I would visit an architect to redo the plans or asked the city can they grandfathered the additional square footage.

That means there is competition for it not from just investors but also regular homebuyers.

They both have "regular" jobs in addition to this -- she sells houses, he fixes them.

Also I really want to know if you bought at retail with already renovated units or did you go in and add value, a lot of the properties that I see 1 unit has been renovated and the other unit still needs some updating.
