When calculating the patient's eligibility for medical assistance, they included the worth of the home and the patient was forced to pay more out of pocket each month.I offer some advice from my personal life - don't put this off.

I know a number of individuals whose leases reflect the school year.  

But of course, there can always be a black swan event.Home prices are affected by human decision making (individuals, Federal Government policy, Federal Reserve policy, local economy, etc, etc, etc...), which is not necessarily very predictable or logical, so I would take macro price trends with a grain of salt.

I'm seeing property managers struggle to keep up, let alone private individuals.

These folks are often looking to downsize or transition to assistance.

If I can’t get two separate tax IDs then no one will be willing to purchase the houses individually since there is no guarantee the owner of the other house will pay his portion of the property taxes even if the tax bill were some how split proportionately.

If you come in as a buyer with no agent and offer on a property that has a listing agent, the agent will probably try to get a higher fee by offering to represent/assist you in some fashion.

I'm excited about the opportunities ahead; however, I would like to avoid any pitfalls if I can.I've already made one mistake and that was purchasing certificates rather deeds (yikes), yet still profitable.Thanks for your assistance.

Last time a Tenant left in the other unit I gave them $100 each to find a new roommate and in a week they got one (individual leases per bedroom).

I know LA can be a tricky market, so it would be great if this agent has experience investing in their own properties as well.Additionally, I would love to connect with other like-minded individuals in the LA area as well.
