They lost that privilege when they bounced one.If there's cheaper housing in your area suggest they'd have an easier time if they moved and don't fine them for moving out early.

They can be a great alternative to traditional central Air in certain situations, and cheaper to operate, too.

Seems to me to be cheaper to use the lower down payment in the first place??

But, usually the initial loan value will make Lenders balk just as much what you're finding just looking for a much cheaper SFR.My main recommendation is: whatever you buy, try to ensure it's ALREADY worth more!

If you give it another 12-18 months, I'm confident that these things will become increasingly obvious.The middle class migration to cheaper markets (Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Charlotte, Phoenix, etc.) and tech center growth (San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Seattle, Austin etc.) has impacted the cycle a bit, so the drops may be less severe in these high population/job growth forecast markets, but nonetheless there will eventually be a flattening and price drop.The more interesting question is: in markets with an increasing trend line, will the next bottom have prices so high and rents not high enough that I cannot buy and cash flow?

Cheaper than the original cost to remove everything, walls, plumbing etcThinking back, the stupid thing was the 3 mailboxes.

Every brokerage is different and I have found the independent ones to be much cheaper.  

Or with a 50% rule a $45k purchase, $410 PITI, $850 rent = $15. 2% rule on this is $42,500 purchase price.I've realized I'll need to purchase much cheaper properties to make these numbers work because in my area rent is very hard to come by much higher than $1300 on even a really nice property.

For example, if the only consideration is financial and the tenant will not renew the lease if they found a cheaper place, then no one is suggesting to send a gift card.

It literally is one street of apartments, I wouldn't consider it the slum but I would say its cheaper living.I still plan on meeting with the tenants and asking them how they like the area/landlord/building.
