Bought it because the rent to purchase ratio was fantastic, it didn't much work, and was in a safe area with many bus lines and easy access to Milwaukee amenities.

PM meSA is fantastic for buy and hold :)Arissa

Thank you for the replies, I have read Set For Life, fantastic book and is why I'm inspired.

You can use a weathered grey stain that will look fantastic on those cabinets.

I have another 5 rental properties (11 units), that cash flow FANTASTICALLY. 

@Jamiel Strickland Fantastic!

A lot of cool kids like to talk about not going to school and how so many billionaires dropped out and are now doing great.That’s fantastic, but what’s wrong with those arguments are a few key issues: Most people saying this have college degrees and are financially better off for doing so (assuming they didn’t run up the college loan credit card, more on that later).

Downtown Phoenix has some fantastic historical neighborhoods.

In November of 2016, I refinanced into a fixed 30 year loan (at a fantastic rate), with the requirement that the property would be owner-occupied for at least one year (which I met).

Biggerpockets is here to give a lot of free advice and education-which is fantastic.
