Thus, you might want to pass on Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and even Hong Kong, if you’re even able to invest in these countries; I don’t know.Clear title, neutral third parties, taxes, and currency stability should also be considerations.Good luck.Jeff

This makes a big difference, if you rent right now and can purchase a property that is cash flow neutral with 75% occupancy then you are coming out ahead.Short term appreciation plays are becoming big again.

The title company's incentive is to keep all parties happy and remain neutral.

@Natalie Kolodij For most homes, I use new carpet trying to stay very neutral.

the bulk of mine were in Madison MS.. the per capita wealthiest city in the state. and of course you had to buy new construction to qualify.. so they have been nice rentals that cash flow neutral to lose a little bit a month.. but the front end bene's out stripped any little negative since I made 30k per house in my jeans day one.I am now selling them..

What @Todd Plambeck said, except also wanted to add that for master bedrooms, I pick up clearance black-out curtains, nice quality machine-washable fabric, neutral styles, with the white backing (for usual HOA requirements) and on-sale hardware and install them myself.  

I would be even more hesitant if you are are located in BP and looking to purchase a cash flow neutral property because there are many cheaper townhomes available and the connotation some people have with the area.Last, I would make sure your rent number of $1800 is correct.I don't know the property or where it is located but I imagine you are competing with SHFs at that price point.

They can neutralize what has seeped into the concrete without paint, which will require future upkeep.

I try to make everything consistant and neutral.

The ground wire connects to the same bar in the breaker box as does the neutral, so the system is still grounded.
