I am communicating with a gentleman from Canada who would like to invest in us, 0% down and only 5%-7% interest, depending on the deal.

Also, on these kinds of loans, will lenders require that I season the rental for a period of time before I can take out the loan?

Surely, I am not heading up as often because of a newborn, but will try to do so once she is older. 

Include capital expenses and maintenance, which will be higher than average for an older house and lower than average for a brand new house.  

Hi all, Wondering if anyone has any ideas: I have an older gentleman as a tenant who does not use the internet or email.

Clarksville has 4 seasons and the humidity is not as heavy as it is in Florida.

Hello ladies and gentleman, I have been following this message board for a few months and have read the ebook from biggerpockets, but wanted to hear some first hand opinions on what you believe would be the best route to generate a profit and continue to grow my portfolio. 

@Yuvaraj VimawalaWait till the window units go on sale at the season end.. buy up several , store them for such emergencies like this .

I live in Buffalo right now, and I feel like anytime I drive through E-Ville it is just flat out packed with people (Fall Fest, Jazz Festival, Ski season, etc.).

I know the Schedule E is what a landlord should be filing come tax season, and I know my lender will want to see the Schedule E for the property for loan purposes.
