It was a SFH and we had to rehab it since everything was new for 1973 - painted living room fake wood paneling, etc.

Although it is very distressed, it really shows promise in the middle of a quiet neighborhood.

.," I got 2 appointments scheduled to look at a SF rental that looks promising, and a small commercial building that I may be able to purchase quite cheaply.The building is located just North of I480 on Lee Road in Cleveland OH.

Once you add-in the cost of utilities (especially heat), furnishings (couches, tables and chairs, beds, sheets, towels, table cloths, pots and pans and plates and silverware, napkins, toilet paper, TV's and radios, washer and dryer and refrigerator - yes, it's common for a long-term SFR not to include a washer, dryer, or refrigerator - etc, etc, etc), plowing/lawn/trash (or HOA fees), cleaning, extra repairs and maintenance (I promise that a long-term house renter takes better care and causes less wear and tear than a revolving door of vacation renters), turnover management and screening, etc, etc, you are not making any more with the vacation rental than with the long-term SFR where the tenants pay all the utilities (possibly with the exception of water/sewer), and take care of the lawn and snow, and provide their own furnishings soup to nuts.

We're hoping there is room for us in Portland's city limits - we promise to add to the quality of life there and help elevate the community through affordable design and, someday, affordable housing!

Hi @Ying Ding, I'm in the same boat as you, with family in Austin, so I am somewhat familiar with it.There are several areas that people think are promising; for me personally, I like the Cedar Park area along the 183.

Seller needs to hire a listing agent who will promise the lender that she will do her best to get top dollar for the place.

Was dodging calls for a bit then would promise to be there tomorrow...blah blah.

I reviewed it more closely and they promise to reimburse $500,000 out to investors in the Growth eREIT if it returns less than 17% annually.

This one we plan to stay in for a while and I had to promise my wife no more living in a construction zone.
