@Genny LiGreat question.I know the science, seen the videos, but still have not done this.My properties have lower ceilings at the water heater, even though they do have segmented rod replacement options.With the cost of water heaters, it may well be time for me to think of such things....

I like the hands on of real estate but like in stocks I didn't wsnt to be killed by just one market or segment of the market.

As this segment of the business cycle continues, it becomes more and more probable that some type of price easing is imminent.

“If you’re not a homeowner or a homebuyer who’s going to occupy the property, you don’t belong in [NAR's} world and it’s just strange to see,” Rand said.Rand pointed out that NAR’s numbers show about 20% of home sales are non-owner occupied, noting that is a large segment of the market to simply dismiss.In fact, Rand said homebuyers are not competing with investors at all, but are actually competing with home renters.

so as this thread moves from talking about market trends it seems like the conversation is steering towards identifying a segment of the market that needs to be addressed all over the country possibly which is affordable housing.

I don't think there was a concerted effort to offer loans to any certain racial segment of our population.  

It is a big segment in which to find employment, should you choose that.Of course, there is money to be made! 

You can roll the income and expenses into the LLC financials in a segmented fashion, having each property separately accounted for or you lump them into one.

There is solid concrete in various other areas of the yard as well.And there are tons of minor other issues related with sloppy cleanup (nails, concrete chunks, destroyed lawn segments) that are left unresolved.Despite being told yesterday that he or his guy would be here today to work, no one has shown up.

It's constructive eviction Tony Soprano style.Incidently, the guy who owns the sleeping rooms in my town, also owns the worst, most hardcore hilljack, redneck, biker bar.It's not something we encounter in our day-to-day existence as REIs, but it is a segment of the business that does exist.
