@Juan Mendoza  I think there are legal definitions for a bedroom and there are usual and customary definitions for a bedroom, with each dependent on who you are talking too and where you are located.  

I think it will add more competition to the rental market and the buyer market specifically up in N Phoenix, Deer Valley, Desert Ridge, and then up into Anthem - but will bring up value throughout the county. 

I also have a few older homes I think I have a couple built in the 1910's. 

I think your first plumber was in and out and probably didn't want to fix the problem because he was unsure of the fix.  

(Your $12k down and your new $24k debt.)The “trick” in regards to less than 10% down is people think they bought and asset or have equity.

I know it has been a while since you posted this and while my partner and I have both established HELOCs, I have been thinking again about what you said here.

You think working harder equals making more money.

I would think there would be a ton of pressure from them.  

But I think, with so many pro-tenant laws coming out, if I buy a property in a more "sane" city, who knows if they won't introduce woke laws later in the future.

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.
