I think most new investors like me get greedy and try to kill the fatted calf with their first flip, and miss out on a decent profit.Jim from Toledo.

I said if their maintenance person could not PERMANENTLY fix the problem, the next time they either needed to hire a real company or I would be putting my rent in escrow until they provided me a habitable place to live.

I am looking at three homes in the same area that are prefab( mobile home) on a permanent foundation in a park around a Marine Corps base.

I haven't learned how to properly assess neighborhoods and see what the activity is within but, from the looks of the neighborhood the subject property is in, people seem to be permanent residents.

After talking with some people from the town, they had a permanent easement for the line, and it restricted any future expansion due to its proximity to the home.

Here is how you do it. put a fat bonus for agents who sell two or three or more properties as a package, and make sure you do not post that info on the Remark Section of the MLS  that everyone sees it.

I am a buy and hold guy of 13 units (SFRs, condos, duplex, ADUs), with fat equity given when I bought, and think I have wrung out all of the value-ad plays that can be done in this SD market (or maybe not?). 

I think it is very unprofessional for one contractor to badmouth another and that guy is a big fat jerk for doing so!!  

If he is still considered a Canadian permanent resident and has decent credit in Canada he could potentially get Canadian financing.
