I enjoy answering questions about tenant relations, if you ever have any.

Growing up in New Orleans, my Dad taught me how to do small things around the house as he remodeled our 100 year old home from top to bottom.

It sounds like you have a great portfolio already started.I really enjoy answering tenant relation questions, if you ever have any.Have a super weekend

I do not factor vacancies ever, I manage myself and it is a non factor.  

This has not helped out in the least because of the hundred or so properties I have analyzed, none would ever qualify for their lending.In essence, they have absconded with my money, and do not intend to ever fund a project, because of their high fees, and the unavailability of rehab properties in the market they have rigged the game against me.I hope someday I will be able to get my refund of the money I lost to these people.

I grew up in the area and my parents owned a few units when I was growing up, so I have some idea of how the market works, but I would appreciate any advice I can get from anyone with experience investing in smaller, rural markets.

Main reason is we would like to buy a house given the growing family but need to make sure we have enough equity in it from the rehab to resell again within a year (or just over) should we have to move (which is a real possibility).

Been hooked on real estate ever since and love the fact I can combine software and real estate every day.

Sterling Cox what ever happened with this?
