I'm glued to the TV for info, and find out my rentals are literally 2 miles from all this nonsense.But, the numbers hold up and everything dies down.Fast forward a year, I'm making $800 a month net off of two rentals there and $125 a month rent here.Deck needs a few boards replaced on my first rental and it needs resealed.  

I have interviewed 6 contractors and the one I chose is too busy to finish my flip after a month and half!

Welcome you have a great background I wish I had half your knowledge there is a great local meet up here in Lincoln ne if you make it up here

Some also in Fairfield which is half an hour drive from Vallejo.Running a list of solds on MLS from the last 6 months for Vallejo shows the lowest of  $175,000 to a high of $509,000.

Is it really that bad if you do your screening right and get good tenants in there or is that half the battle, too?

I would like to address some of your concerns.The monthly capital expenses are your water, sewer, and trash $4446 for the year which is the 370.5 you see in monthly expenses.The property is defiantly in an A neighborhood within a half mile of the best/largest high school in the area.

Hi all,After browsing a bit in the forum I figured I might as well just ask my question here.I am looking to buy a very old brownstone in Phili, it has an oil tanker in the basement and half of the house is powered by it.

 don't mean to step on any contributors toes  but I purchased a 4 bedroom one and a half bath home in Englewood for $8,000 a couple of years ago I put in about $12,000 in upgrades to the kitchen and bath and did an entire interior repaint so yes it there are properties in Chicago town in that range.Chase pls PM me.

I called him with the intention of telling him he has to pay Feb rent but he can stay the first half of March for free -- then he started talking about how the lease is not valid and I didn't follow through.

But there are million dollar condos going up a blocks from my home, you cannot get a seat in one of the local coffee shops (Compass Coffee I'm looking at you), high concept farm2table restaurants keep popping up within a half mile, along with several gyms (parkoor, pilates, barre, etc).
