I'm new to this world but dedicated to retire early on REI. I've been putting away a big chunk of my paycheck this past year to try to build up my savings for a first down payment but it's been a slow process! I live...

If you are worried about weight and want the insurance deduct, go with a metal roof. 1/3 the weight.

For apartments, income approach carries the most weight. 

I might consider having the inspector write out an affidavit of the sequence of events and her attitude so if you do wind up in some sort of hearing that will probably carry a lot of weight.

I usually charge anywhere from 30 to 50 KW  that takes 3 to 5 hours.. you have a timer in the car that says start charging at 10pm.. its done by 1 to 3 am.. total cost One to TWO dollars for full charge.. and then again with Free supercharging for life.. you can knock off about 20% of car ownership right off the bat.now of course modern new ICE cars don't take a lot of maint either but for a vehicle as heavy as the X and as fast as I drive it on the interstate IE 80 MPH limit through Idaho and Utah.. you would be lucky to get 10 mpg on same size and weight suv. 

After all expenses and reserves are accounted for, we're able to live in a nearly turnkey property for very little out of pocket each month, allowing us to rapidly accelerate savings for future deals. 

For that reason you can expect the residents to live in basic proximity to:- Childhood friends- HS friends- HS teachers- Nuclear family- Extended family- A litany of other people who have been in their lives for a long time who got their license and can make an easy buck or two helping their “friends” buy and sell RE.As a contrast, a city like Nashville, TN has experienced rapid growth over the last 2 decades and has churned residents at a rate that creates an interesting dynamic now:  there are so many non-native Nashvillians in Nashville now that many people do not live around those old built-in social circles, which allows them to value 1.

I don't have the capital (nor the credit, unfortunately, but this is being mended as rapidly as is possible) to do a conventional 20% down mortgage, and so I've been trying to figure out ways to make this deal work.

I have family who works for the city and I know you can experience the neighborhood changes you mentioned pretty rapidly haha.

It is not just Windsor that is experiencing rapidly rising prices, but the whole province; the government has gone so far as to label it the "Ontario Housing Crisis".
