As a General Contractor w 15 yrs experience, you would never get that information from me.

And then you find a good mutual fund earning on average 10-12% and figure out what that would make with same deposit, 41 years (65-24 y/o = 41 yrs) minus the expenses that would take and compare to see what is a better investment.

Similar question to David's:Owner has an occupied rental and wants to sell; tenants have been there 2+ yrs, are good tenants, take good care of property.Owner owns house outright, no liens, no back taxes, no other encumbrances.

The home was destroyed from the inside, holes in walls, doors off the hinges, railing scratched and scraped away, ceilings destroyed, there was a water leak in one of the rooms for 2 yrs!

We like to know 2 yrs work history, so we ask for more details and stress communication! 

Lets say you purchase for $210,000 cash and do a delayed finance mortgage based on 75% LTV at 4.5% APR/30 yrs

I have had mine in my rental for 8 yrs and it still looks new.If you are looking for resale and the neighborhood has hard wood then go with hard wood.

Really sorry I can't do that today :crying: Hidden Valley Roofing $7950(inc tax) will install new vents, flashings, includes patio, material and worker transport from at least 4 hours distant and maybe per diem (I did not know that until my neighbor's house was started) Told me the patio really needed done though it is only about 4 yrs old.

My experience is when ownership goes on for 7 yrs plus, they get lazy on income and expenses.

If you were asking me that question, I'd say it's a continuation of the trend over the last 15 yrs of close in city neighborhoods (that are at least relatively safe).
