@Rochelle Rock you need to look into creating a family living trust instead. 

Solid Rock Property Management is the one you want! 

As the traditional selling season wound down in August, the Austin-Round Rock MSA posted a 12% increase in closed sales from the same time last year and a 11% increase in median price to $335,000.

Electric-  $7,000      Fence and gate- $25,000      Road- $50,000 if concrete; $10,000 if rock.     

While I have grappled with the idea of RE in the past, I haven't seriously considered it until now.After being a star employee for almost 25 years, in the end, my loyalty has been forgotten.

Boarding up:Use 2 types of screws: star and phillips to confuse would-be thugs from gaining entry.You can board from the inside or out.

I would also suggest learning how to create a rock solid lease agreement and consult with a good real estate attorney to help with that (as well as researching that on this site).

Even 6% could be considered good in a rock solid neighborhood and low interest rates.I would forget about the 1% or 2% or 3% rule for any analysis because it's ignoring expenses.

House is an estate sale and I am getting a pretty good buy on it as it is so not sure how much i want to rock the boat.I know it is fine if left undisturbed but it looks like the pipes have had leaks in the past and at somepoint If I need to repair or fix a leak in one of the pipes I will have to deal with the asbestos.what do you guys think on both fronts?
