The best thing I ever did was analyzed it to the best of my ability given the resources here at BP, a la the calculators and even using listing only services to ensure I get to keep the listing agents 3%, to ensure I get to leave with a much better check. 

If you ever pass a property being worked on stop and ask to take a look.

I just don't think you can blindly choose one vs the other without knowing the numbers behind the rental currently and what you plan to do later (is there a larger renovation upcoming?)

I have an 'investment' property in Harper County, which is by far the worst investment I have ever made...

Must be flexible to do what ever needed ... and must be reliable and able to complete task from start to finish.

By doing a refi for a larger amount than I currently have but still keeping 20% in the home, I realize that I need to time this with the next property.

I personally put my money to work for me in RE, and I make significantly more of a return then the TSP could ever give me.

I had a question regarding the seller financing strategy-  Did this ever trigger a due on sale clause?  

When I wanted larger projects and larger apartments.

Purchase price: $339,900 Cash invested: $10 First ever sandwich lease option deal!
