I own a condo now and do not like how the HOA fees are so high and continues to increase year over year.

It always seems as if the laws favor the tenants and I am afraid to do something wrong and have these guys living in my house, continuing to damage it or, worse, to have them sue me for god knows what...

If it's a fannie or freddie loan (ie, 30yf), you're looking at 25% down.As rates continue to rise, "quotes" and the like are meaning less and less as the refi jockeys scramble in desperation.

I will keep your tip in mind as we continue our search.  

Natalie, we moved from Seattle (due to the wonderful continuous gray climate) to sunny Austin 4 years ago and have several rentals in Round Rock and been active in the investment community.

Basically a multifamily househack.2) Stick to a cheaper market I know well (OKC) and purchase investment multifamily residences while continuing to rent in CO Springs.I am at a point of analysis paralysis and thus seek your input.

Filed for eviction and immediately saw feb and March rent deposit in the account ( automatic deposit to my bank account)Late fees (100) and court fees $75 not deposited.Should I continue the eviction or is it valid because the tenant deposited the rent ?

I'm proposing that if the seller is willing, we get an appraisal for the market value of the property as is, and then let the owner continue to make mortgage payments while I renovate.

I imagine that they will continue to change names and alter their marketing strategy, so please beware, and do not offer any money up front.

The fact that most of these (almost all) buildings are apartment rentals and not condos for sale, I believe the inventory of condos for sale will still remain low, and will continue to drive the prices up.
