I've been reasonable, responsible, and subsequently fairly miserable, most of my life working towards my prior goals.

@Jason Powell I started with a turnkey to start my connections and have subsequently purchased another 10 houses.

Too bad they are blasting the AC with 110 desert heat, and leaving windows and sliding glass door open all day. 

Subdivision (a) is only applicable to subsequent increases after that initial rental rate has been established.

I used an FHA for my first househack and conventional at 15% for the subsequent.

It really showcases a few things about real estate, starting with how many different ways people invest in it and subsequently what their views might be on a certain issue for starters.

So squirt away, walk into your bank with the canvas bag, slide it over the counter and demand that they fill it up with good green real-estate-investing cash!

If I ever noticed one of their tenants standing in the parking lot on a regular basis, staring at me and my kids in our fenced backyard or into the house through the sliding glass door window, I’d be extremely creeped out and feel unsafe in my home.

You might not find one in Akron to carpool with, but maybe you can pair up with somebody along the way to keep down your gas consumption (and subsequent wear and tear, fluid changes, tires, etc.).

The federal reserve is now committed to a low interest rate environment for the foreseeable future, IF they were to raise interest rates back to 4% ALL homebuyers and many consumers that refinanced their properties would be under water as purchasing power would decrease and there would be a subsequent impact on sale prices (historically there is an inverse relationship between interest rates and property prices; drop interest rates, property prices go up and the reverse applies).What do you think?
