I say I am sure your not the type that would let some stranger dictate what you do or buy... ( most common response is your damn right I would not) so they are ready for the offending neighbor.Then if I am there and the neighbor try's that BS I say well not sure what your talking about if its so bad why do you live here in the first place. that shuts them up.And if all else fails I tell the neighbor I may just rent this out to a half way house that specilize's in letting drug offenders and other felones get a second chance so its up to them do they want a nice new neighbor or would they prefer the felons.. since they will pay me double the rent.. you just have to be in their face

All of three of us have good to excellent credit, and one of my friends has what I consider to be significant savings through his parents - he has around a half million in savings.

Regrettably for my first this is not the easiest to estimate.

Light remodel will get it to rent at $775 3/1/2 with downstairs living area (raised ranch with half basement).  

Maybe on SFR's but I've tried it on MF and it was a huge waste of money for a year and a half before the owner agreed that we needed to get rid of the warranty company.

I live with a cup half full (specifically the left side).

We plan on making $30,000-$60,000 and reinvesting half of our profits back into marketing in order to expand our lead generating channels.

We bought a duplex in south Austin with the intent of living there and renting out the other half through the 203K loan program.  

I am always looking for the easiest payday with the least amount of risk. 

That is probably the easiest way to think about it.
