The 6 months that you are waiting for the refi should give you a taste of what it is like being a landlord.  

hi, i decided  to knock on doors which I prefer face to face contact  is the best...Thursday will be my fourth day farming one particular area in miami...I am not trying to be all over the place so I don't go crazy...I find myself networking with just about everybody and their moms...if you know what I mean lol...just joking...but I will keep you updated with the progress...wish me luck!!!!!!!

When you decide what you would prefer to invest in.

Likewise another would be they are in between closings on their primary residence/commercial and prefer to rent in the interim than lodge/purchase in a hotel/storage.What is an issue is where they conduct business as such.

As I began finding opportunities and closing deal, I then learned what I needed and the types of people I preferred to work with. 

All that being said, I tend to prefer to look at the actual cash sales data in the MLS or tax records versus going off of what people tell me.

Lenders prefer someone that has a full time job!!

In Marina, because I would primarily buy a location (more than the apartment itself) where the demand will be always high in the future.Ah...and beware of the construction quality in Dubai, it may vary a lot on the contractor and you might find yourself in paying a lot of money for maintenance.Bottom line, I prefer to target the Euro market to build up my portfolio, not denying that good opportunities might arise from other cities (again, Dubai?

Most tenants would prefer to be in a single family home so if they can spend another $50 to $100 to get into a SFH, they will.

Covering it with a thin sheet of sheetrock is preferable, then it can never be an issue in the future, but usually we just repair and repaint to save the customer money.
