What about things I don't have a receipt for, like paying a kid down the street to mow the lawn and shovel snow?

Now add in the $ relocating from Wall Street into Main Street via the "Gold Rush" in SFR funds happening today.

Wall Street is going to figure out these things are stupid, pull back their dollars (think dot com bust, when investors realized that "people talking about a thing" and "actual profitability" are NOT, in fact, the same thing), and poof there goes DSCR, before you know it you have to squint to tell DSCR rates/fees from HML, and at that point why not just save the hassle and get a HML?

We are considering silver street marketing we already have a carrot site. 

Also doesn't hurt to live on the same street as your banker and let him beat you on the golf course once a week. ;)

The house cross the street (same floor plan, 4/2.5, built in 1960s) was sold in 2011 for 442K (great deal), now sold for 800K with only new interior paint.

I'm also not nearly cold enough to think about kicking someone like her on the street.

Now for the bad, the street is up against the freeway.

Keep in mind Craigslist may not be the primary marketing method so you may actually need to put "For Rent" signs out on the streets leading up to the property.

Depending on the street, the rent could be closer to $700 per side than $800-$850 but rents vary widely depending on the street.
