Seems like 3-4 bed /2 bathroom homes / 1000 sq ft homes are the desirable norm in Independence?

You see, if you negotiate a package price, then you have nowhere to go when you’re done; but if you negotiate individual purchase prices, then you can always come back and ask for a discount if you take the entire package.Second, you need to know real values by using the comparable sales method and income methods to value the real estate.

I have to go to court.

Irma is definitely going to effect our market and I have a feeling quite a few folks are rethinking investing in some areas that were otherwise pretty desirable, specifically Riverside and San Marco.

This being our first rental, we are unsure of wether to let her leave and hand the keys back by the end of the month to avoid the time, money, resources, stress and take the loss or to go after her.

Other than that, you should be good to go.
