ContractorThis is always a tough one for the first timer or the savy investor.

I didn't pay him anything so far.We didn't sign any paper because he came to my house looked into work, I gave him printed list of work, I was hoping he will add all this work in his formal document and send to me for sign, but instead he told he has employees working for him, and next two days he has nothing to do, so can he start..I said yes.So, If I don't want to continue, because the way he is working, he may take whole year.what should I do, how to decide , whatever he did in two days, what I should pay for that, also this is a mental harassment for me also, everyday is type of reserved for me, I can't plan anything.

It was a pretty tough time for me.

But the MLS is tough in this market.

The lower level Amazon employees, support staff and those working service businesses in the area will not be able to live in Arlington or Alexandria. 

In the way I'm discussing commercial loans for a SFR it is synonymous, but I think some people refer to a master loan made for a portfolio of properties as Portfolio Lending, so there's bound to be multiple meanings floating around.I find loans to an LLC to be easier than to a person, but I bet that is because I have some incredible vendors that I have built trust with AND I am not a W-2 employee. 

Unless there's a compelling incentive (Eg it's a deal now) you can really build it so you learn what your blind spots maybe and have the expertiseThe only reason to jump in is if you are someone that will back off easy if the going gets tough for any reason which I don't see to be the case given how you work with numbers well :-)

Tough to find that sort of going in cap on marketed listings in over-saturated markets such as Seattle, Portland, Boise, SLC, etc.

I agree wholeheartedly, the issue is for me in tough areas is That the other landlords offer their units at much less security some not even taking a deposit !

hi, the Worcester area has triple deckers going for 400k or less but I would not recommend it for someone who is starting out in RE. the tenants there are tough to deal with. best of luck budd
