I'm not just a Mainer, I'm also from "The County"... but I became Financially Free thanks to properties I bought and held in Washington DC.

Eric, thanks...that’s my concern... definitely don’t want to be in violation of fair housing, but from what I see on the HUD website, it doesn’t specifically spell out my reason  for  requiring higher monthly rent/deposit: The Fair Housing ActThe Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing because of:• Race or color• National Origin• Religion• Sex• Familial status (including children under the age of 18 living withparents or legal custodians; pregnant women and people securingcustody of children under 18)• Disability Nine people certainly equates to more wear and tear on the property and as much as I am all for “ The more the merrier”  I want to make sure that the tenant would be held responsible by having more skin in the game to compensate for the added wear and tear of such a large crew.

Hello Douglas,I don't know Hiawassee Georgia, but Google Earth shows an awesome view around the property ( so good location)It looks like a good deal,  Cash on Cash ROI at 14% and Cap Rate 8.19%, I would not complain, just make sure the vacancy is sufficient, it looks like a small town.Also, I see you are estimating 5% rate, so I am assuming you will buy on your name if so, make sure you get a good "Landlord Insurance"Once purchased, after a couple of months, or a year, if funds available, I would build a large porch, extend the metal roof, add a deck, replace the bath vanity/faucet and kitchen faucet, have it appraised/refinanced raise rent and see if you can get some of the $36k out, so you don't have to wait 5 years to get it back through Cashflow.Perhaps you can use Airbnb.Best of luck with your project 

We won a tough Hubzu bid and intend to rehab it to flip in 4 months time but also consider to hold.Question is, how should title to the property be held?

I attended my first conference in Edmonton today in fact, which was held by Collaborate Real Estate based in Calgary and are expanding in Edmonton very soon.

Even if the economy slows down, hirstorically real estate value have held up well, or even rose, because people go into hard assets.

All of my units have single lever Moen T2191 metal trim kit in brushed nickel (The Valve is purchased separately).

Any guidance on how to create momentum on establishing a REIA meeting or know where some are held in the Lehigh Valley Area?

Even in a 401K structure, I have my 401k own the series LLC as manager/member, and the notes held in each series.Good luck with your investing plan, and I hope this is helpful information.

Then the entire metal thing should come off.
