I am not sure if this windfall of $300K will cause the property prices to go up or will the drop in windfall from $500K to $300K will contribute towards damping the property prices.There is also some uncertainty with the H1B program and I know some H1B holders who are refraining from buying their first home till the air clears.On the other hand, the local economy is doing well, lots of folks from out of state are moving here for new jobs and home prices are not showing any sign of slowing down.To sign off, here is a feature on CNBC news about a teardown in Palo Alto (@Jay Hinrichs old hunting ground) that was listed for $1.9M and sold for $2.55M. http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?

For example, a participant loan feature may be limited via the documents or not allowed altogether.You may want to see what you employer plan allows for.

@Muhammad Ali HAR has some good search filtering features that I utilize to run comps on rents and recent sales. 

A duplex that is not in town (though not far and close to the freeway), without a view, fixed up in good condition (looks great but no high end features like granite or anything), getting $1550 / month per side sold for $460k cash with two offers in the first week on the market.

Other tenant features included tenant paid heat and water.

Plus, having your leads structured in the spreadsheet will come in handy as you track the responses.If you use Microsoft Word to create your letters, there is a feature that will walk you through how to mail merge that is easy to follow and totally worth the initial effort. 

There is a lot of properties in the area for sale so if the plan is to flip a property, perform a reasonable amount of due diligence and watching of your budget to have a property stand out in features and price when compared to the local comps.  

I can't use the pm feature for some reason can you add me on Facebook?

Adjustable rate loans are more complicated, the terms vary with the index, interest spreads, floor and ceiling rates, call features, I could go on but you get the idea.Then there is your personal needs side, how long will you hold a property, use of funds, long or short term goals, different loans fit different needs.

You could fix the washer this time on the presumption the tenant didn't fully read the lease and tell the tenant future appliance repairs are the tenant's responsibility.Personally, I wouldn't have this policy as it seems disingenuous to make it appear that a property has certain features, then disavow them in the lease.
