Might need to add some extra footage for the right feel on the master bedroom/bath combo.

I know multiple brand new officers who rent $1,300/month one bedroom apts (not including utilities) with additional $150/month garage fees.

I recently purchased 1BR condo on the 3nd floor.

I do not like condos for the reasons of the HOA.

I'll never forget the time a bird dog person contacted me on a lead on an 'abandoned' 2-bedroom sfr property.

It seems as if he is established in the states, and has owned his own condo for 8 years.

Then Ill look for more purchase near my original rental in the DFW area. 65k should get me a modest 3 bedroom 2 bath home (detached garage/port).

Have about $22, 000 in stocks ( 0% return 2011, 30% 2012), one bedroom condo in west rogers park bought at $ 39, 000 (now worth anywhere 30-40) with total net worth of approximately - $ 100, 000.

Michael B, When I purchased a condo, I had to meet with and sign agreements for the association.

.- Normal sliding closet door in Master Bedroom.- Electric Appliance, only water heater is gas.- Garage is attach to the house, but you have to walk out the side door and get in the house via front door.I could flip or rent, if I rent, I would get 9.5% Cash on Cash return, not including vacancies & repairs.
