." ::-)Turns out the tenant's kid had been playing with matches in one of the upstairs bedrooms and had started a really good fire.

I bought a home in Massachusetts two years ago and I'm doing 100% renovation I added square footage third bedroom third bath and family room.I'll be finished with the project this spring I will have between 250 and 300,000 in equity.Looking for advice how to move forward with buying and holding should I use my equity?

The house was boarded up and actually had grow lights in two bedrooms (I'm sure that was for the production of ficus tree's...couldn't have been anything illegal :) ).

There are other communities that are considered bedroom communities, where people move to that are on the outskirts of large cities where real estate is just not affordable.

During almost the entire time, we have paid from $325 - $1,500 extra on principal, and have also had Cashflow ranging from $700 to now about $1,600 AND we still live in the 2 bedroom unit with all utilities paid by the tenants.  

The first one is one of the bedroom closets (3) that run the length of wall. 

The Tampa market may be different but I think the individual attributes of the 2 bedroom houses have to be considered.

How many bedrooms and baths do they have?
