Hi Tony, My wife and I run a small brokerage, Great Rock Realty, based out of Verona.

Now, the cash out refinance thing is a different question - I would bet that your current rate is rock bottom. 

I have a friend who works for a REIT and he was explaining to me at a meetup one night about how his company is only allowed a maximum of 5 days of vacancy at any given time, and this absolutely rocked my world.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Castle Rock.

I would find a rock star real estate agent in your area and start chatting with them about what kind of property you want.

@Kyle Wilson@Ashish Acharya and @Eamonn McElroy are two rock star accountants in Atlanta, but both are likely to be full at this time.

Primarily Pinellas county, which includes Clearwater, Indian Rocks Beach and St Pete Beaches.

Previous PM sent me a bill for $560 for things like touch-up paint, drip pans for the oven, garbage disposal makes loud noise when turned on, a tub that needs stopper, and needs 1 blind in the unit.Maybe I'm a newbie, but how can landlords make money when they are nickel and dimed for a tub stopper?
