They do a little bit on the acquisition part sometimes but for the most part its about the design.All the other flip shows that used to do that are gone (flipping vegas, flipping boston, etc). 

I've spent some time looking at property in SW Fla only to conclude that the yields weren't much better than those available in my home market of Boston.

I can't just pick and choose among military, police, firefighting, transportation infrastructure, education, arts, etc. categories.

I have been a renter in NYC and Boston for the last 10+ years.

In Illinois, I have seen:a park sold where the city would not allow the transport of homes in or out of the park;a park sold where the water was contaminated by radon that required a $2,000,000 fix;a park sold where the city was within 45 days of a condemnation order.All of these were sold to out of state investors who had not done enough due diligence.

She is wanting a car for reliable transportation, new furniture for the new home, and is wanting a rental home in Cuero Texas. 

Hi Rebecca, Glad you asked the question I’ve been looking and wondering the same thing.I live and invest in Boston but my family originates from the West Coast side of Puerto Rico and for a couple of years now I have been considering investing in short term rentals on that side of the island (Isabela, Aguadilla, & Rincon).

I just think it's such a long shot that it wouldn't be a prudent strategy to try to pull off if you have any other options.I think you should count on your cash reserves as just that, reserves to meet your minimum necessities of food, shelter and transportation.

On the move out date, you will be responsible for providing movers who will transport the tenant's property from the unit to the tree lawn.

Now though it starting to appreciate and if it keeps going i invision selling it, using the equity plus 50k of my savings and buy a money maker in boston (expensive) or Fall River (cheap) or in my own town which is a college town.
