I suggest you all give something back to BP, in exchange for the knowledge, fun and entertainment you recive here!

Also, finding property in the city at all is challenging - sellers routinely entertain multiple offers over their asking price, and a lot of them are cash offers.

Since we all are spread out there will be different rules for each area.For example:Some older cities will be block by blockSome other cities will be hood by hoodI am investing in an area where there are 4 basic sections of the city.I can avoid the one bad section all together.Perhaps, there are some borderlining blocks surrounding the bad area I might entertain if I am priced out of the better areas.

It sounds interesting to me and would like to entertain this idea.

Adjusting your greeting will convert the majority of your voice-mails into missed calls-When setting up listings (through YouCanBook.me), mandate they state number of adults, income, etc (whatever you deem necessary to initially screen applicants).

The combined tax rate (corporate, followed by personal) on dividends paid to non-involved adult family members may increase to close to those levels if the dividend tax credit is disallowed.The impact will be greater on your construction company if it pays dividends to non-inolved family members or re-invests its retained earnings outside of the business.

It feels like 4 adults is potentially more wear and tear on a property as well.  

I've ran into this with "professional housing scammers"  This is where: Adult 1 and Adult 2 move in, on the lease, then invite mom and dad and their other 2 kids to come live with them, they don't go on the lease.

My wife and I continue to love to host people as adults.
