My local power company will give me a free electric water heater if I switch over from gas.

I am the guy that gets the call at 2 AM when the alarm company sees that the power "blinked off" for a second, the one that the tenants call to complain when the common hallway is not clean enough (because of the group of kids that just walked out of the sandwich franchise that threw trash everywhere), etc.

BIG BIG Garage/shed could be used as storage rental for boats, RV's Etc.

Jon C, As a fresh college grad, the classes that continually challenged me to think about real estate in new ways were monetary economics (dry subject, but powerful to learn how money can work for you) and basic Economics classes.

In Arizona, I am allowed legal power to draft real estate contracts and while learning this I was given that advice and it really makes things easier; So don't worry too much about the wording.

I've cleaned up HOAs as an outsider, changing the board to get rid of control freaks, give some people power and they think they own the place.

Welcome @Kyle Soderman - My wife and I just moved back to Minnesota, the state we love... and are in a similar boat; looking to purchase our first property in the next 6-18 months, probably an FHA 203K 2-4 unit place... look forward to connecting more!

At least, for our first two properties I was told we were paying .5% above the usual rate since they were investment properties, but maybe that is not industry standard.For future loans they will look at the payments you have to make yearly (mortgage, taxes, insurance plus any other debt you have) so I still think putting more down now will help in the long run- lower payments mean more cash flow AND lower debt means more borrowing power later on.Kelly

That's the power of BP :))

Hey @Ciro Affronti I'm in a similar boat..been working with my Dad doing flips around town.
