Now, there's been so much change, it's super difficult to figure out what data I need to be looking at.2.

For the small small things like nick-nacks or apples for a bowl in the kitchen, it might be ok to spend a few bucks.I cant tell you how many times buyers have said "Wow, I love that dining room set!

Welcome to BP if that is you in your avi you pretty enough to be a super model seriously :mrgreen:

Judging by some of these responses, I guess you guys change lightbulbs on units  personally and go and clean the toilet bowl for them too.

Its a pain for them and they cant borrow for purchase, so it'll shrink your buyer pool and the ones that will do that will almost surely want a super good deal to put up with the hassle.

I stay within a basic protocol of 3 bedroom starter homes that I can easily sell one day when I am ready to move on…  That said, I am looking at a few condos (that were coverted from apartments) for super cheap.  

The site in MD is super easy if I need to check something out quickly and I tried briefly to find CA one and this might be the main page http://www.ca.gov/OnlineServices/OS_Government_rec...but you will need to check it out by exact location.

It's super useful for searching for properties that might have equity, but shouldn't be relied on when making a purchase.If you goal is to buy 2nds at trustee or sheriff sales you either need to find a good way to talk to borrowers into giving you their balance, get their balance illegally, or play the odds and know you are taking a risk the balance is much higher then your estimate (lender could have made advances, etc).Hope that helps.

I paid it off last year and currently going back and forth with whether or not I should keep it or sell it for roughly 24-25K, spend a couple grand on a super fuel efficient car, and have roughly 20K to help fund my first investment property?
