@Aaron Douglas "M&R" - Maintainence & Repairs?

There's a good chance you'll have a borrower file one or more BK's to delay your foreclosure while your collateral taxes and insurance must be maintained, as well as senior mortgages, if any.You will likely have a property revert and have to evict the former owner and rehab the property, protect it and pay holding costs and brokerage fees when you resell it. 

But I didn't do that because we don't want to move frequently and do like to maintain our residence to our standards rather than be subject to a landlord's investment decisions.Cheers!

Some of the older furnaces can last way beyond their life expectancy, especially if maintained yearly.  

I don't think it is a desirable house to rent out because it has high HOA fees and a swimming pool (which I don't wish to maintain).3.

I currently own and maintain investments in the North Jersey Market.

I have been looking at several communities but am having some trouble deciding on which region would appreciate best, while still maintaining the return I need.

Currently living rent free in my place until licensed to see patients and I am stationed some place else.I still owe $28k on the property and property taxes are at $2,300/yr (significantly higher than my property in SC.)I would like to hear thoughts on whether this property is worth maintaining in my portfolio as a rental.

I have the tenant pay ALL utilities, cut grass, maintain yard etc.

Maintain your goal to purchase Late'17/Early'18 but also be prepared to pull the trigger if something great comes up sooner than expected.
