Quote from @Dan Sundberg: Nice project!

Anyway be nice to have some concrete evidence other than all the emotional stuff being posted ..

No one will ever thank their landlord for doing them a favor- at some point, they'll have to pay market rents and you'll be the evil slumlord when that day comes, no matter how nice you've been up until that point. 

Nice one!

Buy the oldest ugliest home in a really nice neighborhood.B. 

Many lessons have been learned firstly is you can’t be too nice or trusting and second is, don’t wait to figure out the refinance and cash out process and until you are almost done with rehabbing the property because currently going through a very lengthy, cash out refinance ordeal at the moment as I’m trying to get financing terms finalized as we speak.

They were nice and didn't charge me the 10% penalty though.       

It also has a nice loft with ceiling that's high enough that you don't have to hunch over to walk around.

Hi @Lolo Druff, @Nicholas L. referenced my previous post about buying out of state - I've had mixed results in Indianapolis metro area, Class A (nice suburb, great schools) rental has done well but Class C has been a huge headache (repair costs, stolen AC unit, attempted break in).

Looks cleaner and you can add a nice valance.
