If I needed another RE Trust I would go back to them. 

RE has always been a big thing that always intrigued and in 2024 I went ahead and took the risk of buying a fix and flip investment with a partner and soon it will be on the market!

Not to mention the economic development steps the town is taking in ensuring the growth of town (roads, schools, zoning) stays on par with the future expected population growth and new jobs that are going to be a result of the new factories opening.  

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

This is obviously much better than $1,400 per month.On top of that, you will now get 2x the depreciation write-off so your taxes should go down.On top of that, you will now get 2x the appreciation when real estate price go up.On top of that, your tenants are helping you pay down the loan, initially at about $100/mo for both properties, which gradually gets better and better.On top of that, you now have more units so if one or two goes vacant, you have more renters covering the losses of the vacant units.If you want to keep these properties, I would do a cash-out refi and go buy more rental real estate.

My only concern to look out for is that things can go 'rural' pretty quickly if you start venturing outside of town, and most lenders are going to put the brakes on financing if the appraisal lists the property as 'rural' (has to do with what they perceive as the availability of future tenants).Watertown, NY - It probably is as good as you believe, but the lending licensing is pretty tricky up there, so its just  bit more difficult to find lenders that operate up there.

This is because RE prices reflect a lot of parameters including anticipated rent growth. 

Congratulations for thinking about your future.

You can probably find info about rents on dubizzle.com, but you will have to dig some more to find the expenses.My prediction for the Dubai market is that it will continue to correct further for the foreseeable future.

As for foreclosure, yes, the debt might go away, but it would wreck your credit and make it tough to borrow in the future, so that’s not a great fallback.
