I will of course speak with a lawyer before we do everything, but I figured I would pick the brains of my fellow investors before I start spending money on legal fees.

It's also nice to have someone with half a brain to bounce ideas/concerns off of such as how a vacant property next door will affect value or how buyers/renters will perceive a feature or lack thereof.

I'm sure I'll ask to pick your brain at some point.

“DAMNIT JERRY” I knew my brain wasn’t functioning last night.

Steve is right, the rate applies at origination, I had a brain phart.

*speaking of brain overload* :) Completely new to RE investing and wanted to start with Single home rental property or a condo for student but still taking my time to educate myself before jumping in.For all this time, I thought that Pittsburgh is quite bad for RE market, considering most houses don't appreciate that much.. but then today Yahoo posted that Pittsburgh is #4 in Flippers market!!

Some of our utility providers used to ask for much larger deposits.Thats my brain dump for now....

A knowledgeable CPA will save you more on your taxes than they costs and will avoid this sort of brain teaser with the tax code.

At this point I kind of feal scatter-brained, and not real sure in which direction I need to go in order to start as you can probably already tell by reading this.

I'll take a drive up this weekend.Definitely would like to pick someones brain about locations and demographics.Don't want to end up in a C or D neighborhood.
