Best of luck, Stay hungry!

And right now i'm concerned that if i nab an extra $1200 a year out of this while living there that it could be the worst $1200 i've ever made.This would be a moot point if i wasn't owner occupying the unit, or if they were already paying close to market rents and i only had to increase by 5% to stay current.

But I prefer to stay near home.

I am a full time pharmacist and my husband entered back in to the work force about 2 years ago after staying home with our two sons for 6 years.

In the case of value-add, your lender will expect to see monthly #s to ensure you are staying on track. 

Unless of course I find better soil with better conditions where my trees will grow faster and stay healthier or somebody wants to sell me trees that they have planted for a discount.

I've changed 2 property managers in past 3 years and both treated the property as 'just a number' - so I decided to take it into my own hands and stay on top of repairs and tenant issues.Thanks.

The only thing we can do is stay in the property and do an out of state investment. 

I’m in Gahanna so the business would be staying local.

When we find out a unit is coming up and our resident doesn't want to stay we can "show" the property without climbing over their stuff.
