The newer more renovated houses will continue to rise but I feel at some point mine will appear as an old dated house that somebody looks at and will want as a cheaper place to fix up and renovate.Other than this, I don't really enjoy the out-of-state investor aspect of relying on a property manager when this was always a hands on investment for me until I moved away.

The broker does this for free because they get to supply the resulting force-placed policy.  

I've listened to the podcasts and I've had a free account for awhile.

I have the general skills required to refurbish properties while keeping the costs controlled since I have a hands on approach and spend most of the time doing it myself.Are investors here more interested in investing nationwide or also open to investing abroad?

Feel free to reach out and I would be happy to share some information regarding this type of loan.  

If so, the best call would be to sell it to harvest the tax free gains.

I think its somewhat irresponsible though to be touting this when folks take on such risks that we are seeing where they think they are going to make a bunch of money then they get their hands slapped.. which is my point about being correctly zoned and permitted .. do you think that is a bad thing ??   

Which implies to me that this big federal level entity -- for whatever it's worth -- seems to think that buying, maintaining, and owning a rental property is A-OK.But, then again, sometimes the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.

It's free, and there's no sales pitches, just investors talking story. 

I start school at Collin College in the fall for real estate, so I’m looking for an on hand experience while I complete my scheduled courses.
