Since we live in the North Hills, we like Etna, Shaler, Millvale,  West View, Ross, Sharpsburg, Blawnox and lesser (cheaper parts) of O'Hara (mostly bordering Sharpsburg or Blawnox).

Long term, as bussing fades, the school system will get better, so you might look at de-leaded properties.

The more I look, the more tempted I become to either go high end (reduce cash flow, problems, and increase appreciation), or cross the border into Nh and look into towns such as Nashua and Manchester.Great discussion!

@Eric Peterson the De Minimis Safe Harbor allows you to expebse rather than capitalize repairs, maintenance and improvements under $2500 per item on the invoice.That said, if all items are target one Unit of Property, then you take the aggregte value.

I'm not sure about GA but in Delaware we would write an addendum that the fenced area is included and nothing else (wonder what's back there that they don't want used?)

Also @Dannielle Givens I would consider connecting with @Paul De Luca he works with house hackers in Chicago

It is definitely something I’d love to do once the border ban is lifted and I can move back to Austin from Montreal.

It is a very hard line that I maintain so that there is never a conflict of interest.In addition, I have become the defacto go to person when it comes to RE and RE related issues.  

In Delaware we don't have to give a reason to give notice of non renewal so just basically say we aren't renewing and they're responsible to move at the end of their lease.
