My tenant (tenant 2) in another unit just contacted me stating the tenants responsible for shoveling damaged her car while shoveling the driveway (tenant 1 apparently used the car as leverage to pick up the snow and scratched the other tenant's car in multiple places all down one side of the vehicle).

You can’t abuse the service, such as calling multiple times regarding the same subject, but for your question it would be super beneficial and probably save you at least $200.

I suspect OP has an ulterior motive as he created multiple threads on this topic. 

Until that point, I am here to read / listen and learn.I am likely looking to purchase in my area (Pittsburgh) and have some ideas about what neighborhoods specifically, but these are just instincts and purely anecdotal in any event, so I would love to engage in discussions about what areas around here would work for the buy and hold rental income strategy.Thanks!

My husband and I live in Southern California and work in multiple remote markets.

If I had to guess, I would bet that the back house isn't permitted,  we have looked at a bunch of them in a similar situation and I bet 80-90% aren't permitted.Here is the thing, over the last 18-24 months, if a house is a good deal, it has multiple offers, especially if it has multiple units. 

Also, for those that said they’ve been investing since years back at multiple locations, was your VA used for none, some, or all properties?

Since then, I have been doing a ton of reading, watching videos/how-to's/webinars, listening to multiple pod-casts and have practiced analyzing a few deals. 

As long as all the bills are taken care of you can definitely do a cash out, just kinda depends how big do you want to go and do you want multiple properties or one big one.Whatever you do when you get into a bigger property reach out to me on the cost seg :) Feel free to connect and PM me.
