BUT, they asked us a few times if we owned other properties because they appreciated the way we maintained the house they were in.

From what I have read about historical district properties, they are a little more expensive to maintain since the work needs to be in accordance with strict city guidelines.This is what I found on Wiki..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_districts_in_the_United_States#cite_note-nythu-16

The house I'm planning to make an offer on is set back from the others in the subdivision so the driveway is about 3 times as long as it would normally be.It's in average condition, although there is an oak tree that seems to be pushing it up a bit from beneath at one point (I don't know which house owns the oak tree, and the house next door is a vacant REO).Would maintaining this driveway be a high maintenance cost in the long run for a rental?

I just hope he can maintain his quality character given the incredible pressure from his fame and fortune.BTW, is it true that Joshua Dorkin is secretly negotiating with TT to be a special guest at the BP Summit in March?

Of course, it would need to be done in a way that will allow me to maintain the personal liability protection offered by the LLC.  

Odds are that you won't be able to maintain 16 of them correctly and if you don't, then they are worthless. 

Maintain lock boxes.6.

I would also like to purchase and renovate a duplex or triplex and maintain for rent.

We're investors... we don't care as much about things like cost per square feet and exterior as we do about the expenses of maintaining it and the income it generates.
