The watering hole!

My plan is to have a nest egg of money for each property in case things go wrong- long period of vacancy, roof/water heater/furnace replacement.

We are at likely record high price to rent ratios (like much of the country) without much upside on rent growth in the mid-term paired with steeply rising taxes, financing, and insurance costs.

At least 70% and         high bid & the house is yours!!!

I'd like to brrrr and hold long term and it don't make sense for me to do it in my market due to high cost of homes.

We only lightly sanded/roughed surface of cabinets after a thorough cleaning and time to dry, then we primed with a water base heavy duty primer (we used 1-2-3) and got Enamel Sherwin Williams paint (like $100+ gal). 

This takes the pressure off.

Inspecting revealed a water leak from the second floor, above the garage, that shorted the light.

The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.

I do a lot of business in and around the Space Coast and Condo's seem to be around low end $2700 a month to $4000 high end LTR.
