(water is your worst enemy outside of vacancy)A: "funny you ask, as you can see the wall is patched but not finished or painted from a leak that happened upstairs, it's been that way for... 6-7 months."

With starting a business it will often be 6-12 months before it is consistent especially starting completely fresh.

I'm trying to decide if I should require all tenants to provide a deposit equal to one month lot rent.

In person its a place I could see maybe doing an investment or two in but its not where I really want to set up shop (I mean that literally; set up a home and also set up a wood shop - so I can build custom cabinets and stuff).If Santa Cruz, CA ever goes on sale then I'll go there and suck it up with CA laws and cost of living, but for the foreseeable future it is not even a remotely viable option; I looked at a fourplex there generating $10k in monthly income and priced at $2,700,000. 

I moved from abroad to USA 2 months ago (from Poland, originally I'm from Belarus) and now living in Miami, FL, having my greed card.I have no real estate background, my carrer abroad was focused on IT sales, such as software and hardware products & services.

Partner Driven was attracted to the Springdale Forrest Circle deal in Gainesville, GA, due to its potential for a high return on investment with minimal renovation costs.

If I buy a house hack that needs work that is projected to take 8-9 months and can't reside in the house until it is completed or can only be there between jobs can I still claim it as a primary residence?
