But depending on what you're interest rate on loan will be, it could be a wash or a losing proposition depending on stock returns.

. :)You'll to look at the period of time claimed stabilized cap rate, as to the current period.Frankly, you can ignore this as the investor's cap rate buying will be different than the seller's, it's nothing but marketing eye wash.

I have a duplex and one side has a pretty bad odor.I washed all the walls and doors with pine sol then did it again and it does smell better but the smell seems to still be lingering.I at first thought that the smell was from smoking marijuana the tenants were avid users of the miracle plant. add to that they smoked cigarettes.

That allows more people to qualify for mortgages and sucks people out of the rental pool that we'd like to have renting our homes.I think rates are nothing more than a wash.

Maybe power wash and paint all the outside trim, shutters front door and maybe the steps.

I disagreed with Danny Day at first when I read his post....boy was he right.

Was he saying the overall gross is 3x market?

Anyway, I believe there's more upside Appreciation in value for you, which could be a wash if YOU, LET YOUR Tenants, trash the places.Good Luck Investing, Mike

I tried to use the basic $50 Wagner sprayer on a pantry but it jammed every 5 seconds - had to take it apart, wash, then start again.

I have a pressure washer that will go down to car wash level pressure.
