I received a letter in the mail from the City of Ft Worth Board of Adjustment notifying me that a neighboring property to my rental is scheduled to appear at this month's meeting of the Board.

An adjustable head flashlight is nice, even if you have a light on your drill, when you are plumbing they are nice.

We should never really count on or plan for appreciation or more than Cost of Living Adjustments on rent in any market, in my opinion.  

If adjustments are required, they will be addressed via email to all tenants.SO - I'd like YOUR thoughts on whether I'm crazy to include the utilities... and if I'm not [well, if you knew me ... but we're talking specifically about utilities here] - does the above sound like a solid clause?

I was entertaining this possibility of rapid appreciation when I first made the purchase and put down just 5% ($12,000), got an adjustable rate mortgage, and pay mortgage insurance. 

Whichever way you decide to go, you have to make sure you have a Public Adjuster on your side, so they can be your advocate in getting the most from your claim, as well as a good restoration company that also does the rehab, so they can point out all the things needed to bring the property back to a habitable condition & the cost (the need for these ppl also applies, even if you're going to sell, since you'll need to know what the proceeds will be).

If building tracks growth then we could see steady growth well beyond 5 years.Now for all the qualifiers.1) Interest rates - if we see a rapid increase in interest rates and we already know that the FED has stated an increase is coming, we could see a huge rush as rates begin to increase and then a big lull while people adjust to the new norm.

What we try to do is take the subject property and the most recent sales (within the past 3-4 months) and adjust the SOLD price to match the subject properties condition.

He's done some minor modifications, whereas I did a more intensive rehab on my small cottage before renting it out.

The tax credit sounds interesting, the paperwork sounds intensive and lengthy.
