Has anyone had a similar experience that they wouldn't mind sharing?

Keep in mind I have good credit between 680-710. just want yall opinions. thanks

Keep in mind that you cannot keep doing that method, you'd have to change location (couple miles away or closer to work), or if you stay in the same location you have to buy a bigger property.

I will keep in in mind for our next purchase if you work within Fairfield or New Haven Counties.

Keep in mind that you need to live in the property so make sure that is feasible with regard to current leases.

Also, be mindful that with new law change of allowing the 1031 exchange only for the real properties, the cost seg might be harmful depending on if you want to ever do 1031 exchange.

I'm not really excited about leaving an electric heater running unattended, nor do I think that curious, uneducated minds would think it was necessary to run one in an unoccupied space, nor would they appreciate the extra heat in summer, or the extra expense added to their electric bill.I'm wondering if anyone has tried any of these, or if they have success doing something else to help cure a damp basement.Thanks in advance.

I am interested in Wholesaling right now but will do buy and holds later on so I will keep your comments in mind.  

I have interest in Germantown as well, and though I do not have much experience with the immediate area, my investor-minded realtor has recommended staying near Germantown ave on the Mt Airy side of town due to increasing development.
