@Tasha RivardI recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation.

@Erik Estrada right now Amex got me at a special rate of 9.99% I’m talking to my lender right now on qualifying to get a loan to buy the property

We also work with specific agents that specialize in off market

Just be aware of potential special assessments that may be in the works or could potentially come about, and factor in continued increases to the monthly COA fee.

Now, not so much...As much as people complain about the cost of renting...they should try being a west coast landlord.

$50k / $1300 = 38 months to pay off your loan ... and you get to keep the asset.So many people are financially short-sighted and want immediate gratification, which is why so many Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck.

I look up as much information as I can through search engines but in todays world, a lot of people have more unique jobs and I do not want to call only the numbers the applicant has provided.

Many people in this country love NOT to pay taxes --- who doesn't. 

Currently as a 5 bd 2 ba it rents for $2500 but I'm finding it hard to increase rent just due to the fact that there's not many people out there looking for a 5/2 to rent or else they would just buy.

It seems that a lot of people dump on Garfield Park but I've always loved the area.
