I imagine id be the same way once i am in your position.

Really if you can never imagine running a weed whacker or fixing a loose deck rail or mowing a lawn, then the condo may fit your rental management abilities.

Fixing them, I would imagine, would be easy and it is so cheap it's worth a shot to try.

If your payments are too much based on your current income (not counting the lost work), then I understand why you would be selling but it's hard to imagine a 72k loan being more than your rent would be, even after adding taxes and insurance.If you do have to sell, then you probably won't like my answer and it probably won't be very popular here.

In short, I can't imagine a scenario in the next 10-20 years where these campuses lower their student populous.  

He mentioned 3 things that received heavy resistance when they were first introduced but are now so common place that we can't imagine life without it.Banks ATMs, cars, and I can't remember the 3rd one :-(Cars are so common place now, can anyone believe they were ever met with resistance when they first came out???

Last year (or maybe late 2015) I had a slab leak that had the manifold in the worse location you could imagine. 

I don't know but I would imagine it would be hard to flip from out of state, especially starting out, unless you were there doing it yourself.So first thing I would do is decide whichever strategy you want to invest in.

So when I take that concept and read it into the literature I'm "misinterpreting," I'm still unconvinced.Now to be fair, I understand your point about properties that aren't placed in service until the following tax year(s).

In light of that, I know that to get pre-approved will require my credit to be run, and as you can imagine I do not want to acquire a bunch of inquiries on my credit, which would negatively effect my credit score.
