Keep interacting on here and best of luck to you with everything!

Of course you're also not paying rent, building equity, etc.I wouldn't make major decisions totally based on this, but the NYTimes has an interesting rent vs. buy tool -- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/bu...I have several friends who have bought 1 and 2 bedroom condos, lived in them for under 5 years and then successfully rent them out and now live elsewhere.

Hey thanks alot.....I'm not that experienced on how to interact on here....I've only read the forum......but I intend to learn......there is a lot of info here, and Ive been around a while and may have a few things to add too......right now my hands are full trying to get my picture to download from my I pad.....anyway I welcome all the information I can get....I have a short time there on my first visit, and I intend to hit the ground running.

If you want to be truly attentive in any one place, you need to really be all there and have meaningful interaction with people.If you try to get fully immersed in ALL of the social media platforms out there, you can literally spend all day chasing your tail and ignoring your actual business.

The point is that we established credibility and trust with our interaction with the instructor and with the Realtors in the class.

The whole time he's managed the house (10 months) we've only had 2 service calls, making my interaction with him extremely limited, so it's really hard to tell how irresponsible and lack of PM knowledge he really is/hasI intended to change this PM due to other factors and have been looking for recommendations on BP and have interviewed a few, he will be fired once I can get one in place to take over since I am out of state.Don't get me wrong, I am not saying I have no fault in this situation but trust me, ego is 100% not a part of this equation when I have a 200k house on the line.

It makes tenant interaction (using portals) seamless.

I have never heard one person speak poorly of their interactions with Ali.  

I want to outline one area that is important for you to understand if you want to consistently hit the bulls-eye: the interaction between supply and demand.Understanding the balance of supply and demand is critical to making informed decisions.

I tend to interact more with the tech-enabled BDs and dont often talk to the traditional ones too much, but one BD told me last month that few BDs will place anymore.
