We're pretty excited to move in, but that rent amount got me thinking just today: I don't really want to spend 300k on a house here in Pedro, because for that dough I could buy a whole lot of income property where I'm from in Texas, but what about one of these short sale condos around here that seem to be going for around 120k?

This will increase the bedrooms and sq/ft of the main house.3)Add a doorway to the main house, but leave it with the second kitchen.

How long has it normally taken to find a tenant, particularly for condos?

It was a condo conversion (one apartment) and I had enough for the downpayment.

I'm baffled by this issue, and wonder if any of the investors at this site have run into this issue when dealing with condos you either own primarily or invest in?

I called a locksmith once on a property I was buying (abandoned condo - had permission from the owner who inherited the property and didn't have a key).

Three bedrooms, detached two-car garage, big walk-in pantry off the kitchen and a gigantic attic !

Certainly in a 1 or 2 bedroom unit, 1 bath should be considered enough.

How would you be able to locate their criteria just by riding through some random area looking at homes without being able to see the homes from the inside to tell how many bedrooms and bathrooms it has or what year it was built.

These are 4 two bedrooms ideally, but often a mix of 2's and 1's.
