Since inception 3 years ago we are at about 450 notes in force,  and happy to say and its hard to believe but not one foreclosure.. we have had a few payment snafu's when Wells cut off  shore accounts abruptly..

They basically give you a return on your money without any financing considerations.Rule of Thumb  A properties  2-4 capB properties  4-6C properties  7-10D properties 10+A properties have low cash flow, but appreciate much better.B properties have decent cash flow, and pretty good appreciationC properties can appreciate if the appreciation is forced, and they cash flow betterD properties are in distressed areas and are management intensiveA properties are new, B properties around 10-20 yrs old, C properties are 30 years old and older.Also the A properties are usually sought out by institutions.The thing to look at cap rates is to see where they are headed.

For what it's worth (and I don't know how certain this is) but I just heard (in the last couple of days) that the Air Force is considering locating 2 Squadrons of F-35's in Fairbanks.

Wondering if I'd be forced to get another title policy?

But having actually gone through the process of looking for a place with my daughter over the summer, if you want to go outside of dorms or the student apartments, you are looking at close to $1000/month for a 2-bedroom apartment less than a mile from campus, plus utilities (including deposits to set up accounts and time involved) and the need to bring all of your own stuff - which, from experience I can assure you is a major pain :)  We just moved my daughter in this past August and found out yesterday that her roommate is breaking the lease at the end of semester, forcing us to do the same ($1000 out the window).  

So one may be forced to take a 125K distribution vs taking a cash distribution of 50K over three years.

If the city catches you without a permit they will put a stop work order in the property and force you to get permits.  

The horse business (any aspect) can be very rewarding, but it is truly a labor of love, and you definitely can't force yourself to love it.

Basic concept:Buy below market, rehab to force increase in value, keep total cost of purchase and rehab under 75% ltv of after repair value, refinance all the original money out, repeat.

Between the Air Force and Army, I have been in the service for almost 8 years.
