Might need to add some extra footage for the right feel on the master bedroom/bath combo.

Quick way to double capital for those great buy/holds that can kill your liquid.

I know multiple brand new officers who rent $1,300/month one bedroom apts (not including utilities) with additional $150/month garage fees.

Or, keep the principle secret, you buy in a double closing style transaction.

I'll never forget the time a bird dog person contacted me on a lead on an 'abandoned' 2-bedroom sfr property.

I have had great returns- double digit.

and the flame doubled in size!

Then Ill look for more purchase near my original rental in the DFW area. 65k should get me a modest 3 bedroom 2 bath home (detached garage/port).

Have about $22, 000 in stocks ( 0% return 2011, 30% 2012), one bedroom condo in west rogers park bought at $ 39, 000 (now worth anywhere 30-40) with total net worth of approximately - $ 100, 000.

The rate I have to pay is double or more what the previous owners paid- I suspect their policy was grandfathered in before the changes.
