I was going to do a health sandwich shop a couple years ago and name it "The Flat Belly Deli" you could name it the "Fat Belly Deli"

With these factors in place it is possible to find a traditional lender (hence lowest possible rates) to offer you non-recourse permanent first mortgage.

Lookout and Columbia Tusculum neighborhoods around Hyde Park are now permanently "A" zones, and Oakley is very close to being the next permanent "A" 'hood.

And read to exhaustion:http://www.biggerpockets.com/startherehttp://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingTake the time to see where you can " Cut the Fat" so that you can save money not only for your car but for your business also.MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME!

Our lease states that they cannot have a dish permanently mounted to the house without permission.

I can understand your dissatisfaction if yours have gaping seams and you don't trust polyseamseal to make a permanant water seal.

In extreme cases the authorities have fines the owners, made them rip out all "improvements" and in some cases permanently denied them occupancy permits so that the building could never be rented again. 

My strategy is buy with cash, then my commercial lender gets a BPO and gives me an 80% LTV Line, if i buy another using the cash from the line, I then take out permanent financing, and pay off the line, and start over again. if you steal the property, my guy lends on the BPO, not the lesser of purchase price or value (many use the lesser amount) having cash in hand or a line against equity is about the same in my book, just never against my personal residence. 

@Andrew Muff I was under the impression, if the AirBnB rental is for greater than 7 consecutive days Oakland does allow it to be rented for "Permanent Residential Activities", correct?

@Tatiana Duarte - If you want to be a landlord, you will learn the MOST if you do so inside or near your permanent residence.
