Do you KNOW that there are broken items?

Finally, I just inherited some farm land and am trying to figure out how that fits into my overall portfolio.Married, 2 college-age daughters, one pitbull/lab dog with a broken rear ACL.  

Imagine the difficulties in selling, maintaining, upgrading with 5 decision makers.

(possibly FHA/203k if upgrades are needed).- I live in one unit, then rent the others out to cover mortgage and generate monthly cash flow.- I hold on to the property, refinance and/or sell in the distant future.- Roll all profit from selling/re-fi into second investment property (1031 exchange).- Rinse and repeat throughout the years, drink mojitos on the beach.... lol.

Looks like you have it pretty well broken down.

It wouldn't make sense in my situation (or yours) to hop on a plane to "confirm" that broken garbage disposal.  

The homes at toscano are priced at the same price/below compared to  some very old homes in the areas and  this is the reason they are selling so fast. also, lot of upgrades that other builders would charge a premium are already included.I have cancelled the purchase due to other reasons for but I do feel that this community will do good in the long term.

Hello,I recently bought my first house in southern California last month for $208,000 and at the time another model home (upgraded) went for $225k.

We're planning to sell within the next year and have noticed how much more the upgraded condos in our area (Communications Hill) seem to be selling for compared to the original units.I’m seeking advice from two camps before really looking into this idea though: people who are familiar with the bay area/San Jose market specifically, and people familiar with rehabs in general and what they do for property values.We bought the place for $604,000 and had it appraised again about a year ago for a refi at $640,000.
