Hi everyone,My wife and I would love to move to a better house with a bigger yard in five-ish years.

I am currently based in Boston but can move to Atlanta and keep my job from October onwards.

Purchase price: $95,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Sale price: $173,000 Before moving in we had to remediate some mold in the basement.

So moving in isn't going to help you there.

We started in the fall of 2013 and pretty much have all the same tenants from when each property was purchased (1 property the people moved out but then called to move back in but we had already rented to someone else).

. $425k) to purchase a 12-unit Apartment ($1.5M) with 25% down ($375k from the HELOC).The remaining $50k from the HELOC could go into fixing/rehab of the 12-units.Then cash-refinance the larger amount from the 12-units to pay off the HELOC in one lump-sum (as much as possible), then using the cash flow from the apartment to pay off the rest of the HELOC.Repeat the process with a new apartment.1) Does this make sense? 

The increases aren't keeping up with my property tax increases but I don't want this tenant to move out.

We love having a smart lock on the property, guidebook/recommendations are a favorite, and do move in/move out inspections just like normal!

Hi all,I'm a new small-time landlord figuring out my process for screening tenants for an apartment in Chicago.

WE have to keep in mind also that each state is different in how they operate with regard to public records.. out east in the states were folks still need a title abstractor title work is completely different than the west coast were most title plants have been moved off shore..
