You are, at best, maintaining your purchasing power…right?

Your husband is on a valid course, the questions should be what properties, located where, what kind of properties and how to leverage the acquisition and how to maintain the portfolio as an earning asset.We just can't get specific unless we have alot of information, but I doubt, for your purpose, you really need to go much further.

Due diligence will prove this.I'm going to keep reading up on buy-and-hold strategies, but since I don't have adequate cash reserves to successfully maintain a rental property at this point in time, I'm going to start look into wholesaling more.Thanks again.

Hell, there is this burgeoning website, census.gov, which provides essentially any element of demographic data one could ever imagine down to census tract block groups (which, in cities, is a very small, concentrated area). 

We pay our credit union $25 per year to maintain a $100K line of credit (at 3.5% adjustable rate) which is secured by our primary home, which itself is paid in full.

I think that those who take the time/effort to get/maintain a license and insurance are worth the relatively minimal additional cost associated with the work.

But they are now over extended & want to walk away to concentrate on other properties.However, this one has legs & needs more investigation as a well respected local RE CPA I also referred it to had this to say

We have found that there are better uses of our time than maintaining a laundry room.Once you get to where you have enough units in a property, it's best to use a service that owns and maintains the machines and you provide the room and utilities.

In cases of slip and fall or injury caused by the failure to maintain the premises they have a better case because you clearly have a dutyy to maintain your property.

I actively manage and maintain these properties.
