Ive got one...i am paying my mortgage every month...anyone else financed via sub prime? I am supposing that many here do...due to self employment, etc...

The 56 unit apartment complex that we built this year we used passive House design where we used to buy six on the exterior walls with 6 inches of open cell spray foam insulation.

I constantly crunch the numbers almost monthly to see how much money I am making when including the amazing increase in the property's value each time I raise the rent and I do my math over and over so that I am excited and I can do the math in my head.So, when the tenant spit in my face my mathematical mind went into overdrive and this irate tenants idiotic move that resulted in an eviction just earned me a big fat paycheck.

I was spending $8000 a month living in LA (mostly paid by BF) and then cut it down to 4500 moving to Dallas and then I really cut back on a lot of things: cable, downgrading to metro cell phone service from sprint, cut my Massage Envy membership that was $60/mo, getting.

Probably Iowa area as a preference, as they don't block muni networks, so really small cities there can build out fat pipes to the internet to attract telecommuters that need lots of bandwidth, but want small town population density, and short drive to 3 larger cities if you want to still have the occasional city experiences.

The tenant showed they didn't view me as important, so they made a choice to prioritize say their cell phone, over me.   

Before allowing any tenant possession to your property, make sure you have accurate information from their application - cell phones, emails, work addresses and phone numbers, emergency contacts - and take the time to update them when they change.

My concern is that real estate makes a big fat target for increased taxes in the future.A raise in capital gains taxes will hurt the 'appreciation' folks.

Marketing is not a few cell phone pictures plus a Zillow and Craigslist post.

Am I being fed a big fat bologna sandwich or is it actually possible that they don’t keep those records?
