First of all the HOA fees eat up a lot of the cash flow, oftentimes down to a non-acceptable cash-on-cash return, making finding condos that do cash flow appropriately more difficult to find...and that's until the HOA doesn't up the fees.Second of all, so many of the condo associations here have "no renting the first year" or "no renting for the first two years" as restrictions that are not always disclosed in the MLS.

I think the biggest thing helping us is the ever moving line of acceptable commuting distance and ever increasing house prices as you move closer to GTA.I still see the higher rents and longer term tenancy in the 6-20 unit buildings with 2 bedroom units.

Failure on his part to do this leads me to believe that you giving notice on December 8, 2013, was acceptable, because the way it is written, you could give notice on any day in the last month and be adhering to his lease!

Used to you could sue and also get extra damages and double dip but many contracts took that out to where you select one or the other meaning to sue or accept liquidated damages of a specified amount.Maybe start a little higher and then go down in what you will accept to go away for a contract termination fee etc.No legal advice

I started a women's book club near Tacoma about a year ago, and now there are 180 of us, and it is one huge happy hour, girlfriends, social events, lunch...whatever...all sorts of fun stuff.

After lots of frustration I got a call from my agent on Christmas Eve that I had two accepted offers to pick from.

I'm fairly excited, and so now my biggest concern is just that we have few foreclosures, a lot of cash buyers, and a strong seller's market - even if I can *determine* what a neighborhood is probably like and where it's probably going, getting my bid accepted is going to be a challenge.

However a good property will also attract many bidders and your lien yield may be lower than the maximum rate.You have to accept in a tax lien investment that you don't know when it will be paid off.

House was on the market less than 48 hours before we accepted a very strong offer at $332K (40% down, $10K in escrow, wanted to close in 3 week period).

I'm struggling to determine what acceptable CAP rates (CAP Rate= NOI/Purchase Price) are for particular areas.
