There are an abundance of townhomes around here that are starting to look more and more appealing from a cash flow perspective, but I want to make sure I am covering myself for longer term maintenance. 

Lifted our ceiling up for more open feel, added an elevated primary bedroom and bathroom, fresh paint and beautiful materials.

It is fine that it is considered long-term money from his perspective, but there will need to be a bullet with interest-only money.

Hi Marcelo, You have an interesting background and will be able to bring a different perspective to Bigger Pockets.

I have from a title and escrow perspective.

Certain times of the year tend to be much better than others.Again in my experience, December through February tend to be great times to pick up great deals, March through June tends to be much worse, July through September tend to be decent and then October and November tend to be dismal.Could be my area or just my perspective, but that's what I've seen.

But also look and see if there is any evidence of recent repairs to the ceiling, such as fresh plaster or paint.

However so far I haven't seen anything coming close to these figures here in Holland.If I look at the local markets I would say the first property will cost between €200k and €250k with a rent of about €18-20k a year.I am doing my best indeed to find a job in a cockpit, but there is only so much you can do at this point.From what perspective do you say that the highest return is to be found in the aviation industry ?

I have flawless credit 740+, fresh tax returns showing plenty of income.

Hope that helps put things in perspective.
