They are saying that I am responsible for the extra 30k. 

hey man, I can really do you good, could you give me a $20.00 for some gas and some smokes"." my truck has a flat and could you cover me a extra $50.00 for a new used tire"" my compressor got stolen, could you spot me a $100.00 so  I  can get a used one at the pond shop".

An extra 2 hours a day would be optimal, though.For hands-off, you're best house hacking... buy a multifamily, live in one side and rent out the others.

Hello everybody,I'm a software engineer with some extra time and money and I recently decided to get myself into the real estate world.

The last refinance I did on my owner occupied duplex involved an appraisal and the value was determined on the GRM not the comps which gave us a few thousand extra in the value.Good Luck!

Even adding value by making a half bath into a full bath, adding an extra bedroom, or knocking down a couple walls.

Jane just made a whopping $112,500 extra on the house she just sold.

I have done that once before with a subcontractor that gave me a super duper extra good price and only they were using the equipment and only for a couple of days-- but even then it made me nervous.

Thanks in advance.Are you willing to pay above market rent in order to justify the extra wear and tear on the owners home? 

I think the extra 1% is worth taking the cash if you are planning on expanding your rental portfolio.
