Even if you purchased your home at the very tip-top of the market before they dropped by 19%, if you would have simply paid your mortgage payments, mowed your yard, and stayed in the house for 6 years (you had to live somewhere during that time), you would have made money on your home...and that was the worst drop recorded.

Every time I have more than like 10 offers out I start to lose track of the conversations and details. 

Live with it for 6 days until the end of the month and then raise the rent 30-50% or just don’t renew.

At each property, whether a vacant lot or an industrial warehouse, he told the borrower that he should convert the property to medical offices, and that my fund would be willing to finance the conversion.  

Aloha @Michele Nakapalau -  I live in Mililani. 

There are 2 beds/2 baths/1 living room upstairs, and 2 beds/2 bath/1 living room down stairs in the fully finished basement with a separate walkout entrance.

Conversely, if the market is at its peak or showing signs of decline, selling now may be more beneficial.

I plan to short term it when I'm not living in it so I designed it with an additional vertical guest bed to the right of the living room and with extra dresser space in the bedroom in case of long term tenants.

So if every year I would buy an assumable rate property and live in it for a year then rent it out and repeat this.

The tenant is always on time with rent, but there are now four adults living in the condo with a kid on the way.
