I saved just over $10,000 in less than a year, while my friends ate junk food and wasted money at the bars etc.

But know that people waste more utilities when they don't have to pay for them directly.

So you don’t waste your timelooking at all locations, prioritize and pick locations that put youin a more favorable location between your future competitionand your residential customers.

Unfortunately, in most of these situations, "partnering" with or "mentoring" a beginning investor is code for "wasting my time helping someone who's constantly screwing up (because they're a beginner), and not only getting nothing in return, but also exposing myself to increased liability". 

Sales price is more important as your taxes are tied to this.3 2 1 buydown is a waste of the money.

You can come across a little abrasive and potentially waste everybody's time if you actually put offers like this in writing without a verbal chat first.But if the agents talk and agree that it makes sense to write it up, you should write it up.

I am considering renting out my primary residence (3bd/2ba)  for the Superbowl - we are about 20 minutes from the stadium, and about 25 minutes from other events happening around the same time in Phoenix, AZ such as the Waste Management Open and Barrett Jackson.

I made some contact in Pittsburgh came  across the nicest people there that helped me to check out the property , I searched many long (and maybe wasted) hours on understanding the areas regarding schoos, crime, renters, etc, - again this is also still a big question how to determine such decisions about areas (guess I will need to read some more). the conclusion with the agent that went to look at the property was as follows in his words “This property is not for you unless you find a good property manager.

You don't want to be wasting your time on redfin, searching a general city, that might not even allow STR in an area you're looking at.Also, most investor/agents have access to rental data & projections.

I think I’m dealing with a management company, is there a chance they would like to off load this property before year end even at a loss to avoid paying taxes and such?
