This duplex that I'm looking at is about the same price as a Honda Accord with the extras here.

Bc you know where the seller is, and I'm assuming he's willing to sign papers, it should only take a few extra days...

It cost me 240 bucks a year to join and they wanted me to pay extra to shop my deals in front of the room.

I risk some calamity with the economy, etc. if I hold off, but I expect to make an extra 15K or 20K (if the appraisal doesn't screw me up) if I wait.

Sorry, it won't show up properly without the spaces.with extra spaces:[ img ]https://bp-v-newproduction.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/user_photo/image/685/photo.jpg[ /img ]with spaces removed:If you use a site like photobucket, they provide a direct IMG link:[ IMG ]http://i653.photobucket.com/albums/uu257/jholdman/undercut.jpg[ /IMG ]

Our current plan is to just apply all the net rents (cash reserves already established)and all the extra money from our paychecks to pay the debt off in about 12 to 18 months.

I'd like to extend the cost of the water to the lot renters by submetering each unit and sending them a bill (or having a third party do it) I was wondering, who has done this, how much I'm looking at spending, are permits needed, where can I go about getting the best deal on hardware (should I use a wireless meter which gathers data 4 times a day that I can review from home?)

I mean, we could all just chug money into our 401k's and let Fidelity or whoever control our retirement... most of us are willing to do the extra work of being a land lord or RE investor to boost our returns... by that same token, why wouldn't we be willing to be a bit more geographically mobile in our investments to further boost those same returns?

I have been told by a title company that they don't check the permit history.

I'm bumping this thread since I have the same questions because it's pretty common for people to enclose garages and/or sunrooms in my area and turn them into bedrooms.I think I understand the issues - might not pass inspection if not up to code, liability issues if inspector missed something, code enforcement issues if not propertly permitted...
