It's incredibly easy to manage as I have phenomenal tenants when take care of the place, so I'm personally happy with the little money it makes + principal pay down + paper losses from depreciation.

Can't dump mulch/gravel and so on in the back, but can haul all sorts of things and is utilitarian enough to not care if it gets dirty.

The condos rent for 1500 but be careful as most condos are non warrantable.

Go into the process knowing there will be bumps in the road because you are taking the road less traveled, but in the end it will be worth it because you will have a house with most of, if not all of the deferred maintenance taken care of, favorable financing terms, and a little equity as an icing on the cakeLast thing is if you can work with a lender, 203k consultant, and contractor that have worked together successfully on deals together try your best to do so.

@Stuart Grazier The turnkey route might be worth investigating if we can purchase the home without a renter and live in it for a few years before letting the management company take care of it.

Kevin's Attorney called Seller's Attorney who did pick up the phone at that time and Seller's Attorney claimed he was sick with the Flu and was not in the office to take care of the Cancellation.Kevin's Attorney, a week ago, was tired of waiting and then sent a Demand Letter in Writing to Seller's Attorney to promptly return deposit.Kevin went to find out more about the Seller's Attorney, specifically if he had any problems.We searched a public Court Website and found out that the Seller's Attorney was sued by a Client that was Purchasing a Property.

If the driver doesn't see the wall (or doesn't care), they'll back right into the wall and damage it.

I use Cozy.....but if you weren't happy with Smartmove, you many not like Cozy either....kind of same concept....everything is filled out online by the tenant unless you want to input all the data and collect the fee etc

Take care of your properties and your tenants and your chance of getting sued goes down dramatically.

Unfortunately I did not word my rental agreement modification carefully enough.
