Assets (and experience) are the main factors.

Lead free is a different inspection and costs more.

I use different criteria and a different lease for these month to month furnished stays than long term tenants.

I have had two different property management companies in San Antonio and they both required to be named as an additional insured or the fees were going to be higher.

They both have their pros and cons and will appeal to different types of people and financial situations.

If you like the location long term appreciation-wise, and think you may be able to raise rents and create cash flow in the near future, and aren't concerned with cash on cash return/ the opportunity cost of having money tied up in these properties as opposed to putting it to work elsewhere... maybe your main goal is just a safe place to park your money... then you might consider keeping them or even putting more money into them so that they cash flow (refinance with more down).

But definitely a great way to build generational wealth for your children, it's one of the main reasons I got started.

Nothing major Mike,Just bought this commercial for pennies.Needs around $50,000 and will be a duplex.Washington Local.Easily $650pm per unit if not higher.Can't go wrong even tho it's on main road and factories close.Thanks 

 Once a person lets earnest money  go hard, they become emotionally attached.If you find yourself in a situation, where there was something majorly different than what you realized, then it is my firm opinion that it is best to let the seller have your earnest money and take stage left.Remember, no deal is better than a bad deal.No, I have not always been the master of that particular principal.

Do I sell and pay capital gains and dump the money into a different market or do i refi and buy something else ?
