All that matters is whether the property will attract reliable tenants (A reliable tenant stays many years, pays the rent on schedule, and takes good care of the property).

.: My wife and I are considering getting a home closer to her family to stay in for extended periods and holidays.   

So on numerous occasions, I have expressed my concerns about staying within my budget.Now on top of this, the property manager let the pipes freeze and they leaked and the boiler also cracked which I was told to file an insurance claim.

If tenants stay one year on average, you will need to show 12 units for a 12 unit property every year.

All lenders have strengths and weaknesses, staying close to them is the only way to learn what each of those are.

My first impression is that your numbers in the current economic climate seem a little rosy.I also have friends that are builders and I try to stay in touch with them on costs as we mostly do "to the studs" renovations when we buy a place. 

The landlords aren’t staying silent either.

First set stayed 7 years.

This upgrade not only improved comfort but also significantly modernized the property.

It makes more sense for me to stay in southern fl monetarily but something in New Orleans would be fun if it made sense.
