can you see where Columbus is heading...my primary doubled in value in 3-years...it will double again in the next 5...same story with my investment properties...you won't be able to buy a home in Columbus for under $600k in 15-years...every structure in this city is valued at 40-50% of value...coastal Cali is beautiful, but the combination of the environmental factors and natural disasters and decreasing rate of affordability mean you're about capped...so, you become a city of working class poor that sell their soul to the devil to afford rent in shared apartment and a bunch of affluent self-centered a$$holes in McMansions...sounds awesome.

What are the key factors influencing the cost of care in assisted living facilities in NY/NJ?

I'm self managing so I factor in zero for that. 

is 50.00 a day late fee even legal ??? 

@Dennis Guinto, one other factor if you are wanting to sell your other property and do a 1031 to buy your father's property is that would be a related party transaction. 

Upper part is management fee.

But, the one person who does want to sell, saves $20,000 in real estate agent fees along with $10,000 in repairs and saves the uncertainty of how long it will take to sell on the MLS.He then fixes up the property and sells it and makes maybe $30,000 and sends out another mailer that costs $1 a piece to send out.

Of course there are a number of fees for the loan so let's estimate cash out of $52,000.  

Better yet, Nick Nanton and JW Dicks, also own a company called the National Academy of Bestselling Book Authors that will essentially give an award to anyone who has a book place in a "best-selling list" on Amazon and will pay them a fee.

Beach condos for investments are very challenging because the HOA fees skyrocket.
