@Rob Bergeron not a fan of the news.

Thanks for sharing this, I myself have read vivid vision twice, and have still not don't my own vision...thanks for the kick in the butt to go take action on it!

In Newport News, check out Towne Bank and see what they're doing. 

(we’re being conservative @ $1200 for analysis purposes)Refinance to 30-year conventional after 6-months of tenant occupation (our conventional lender tells us they require the 6-month duration)      - Pending fed action / outlook, we’re using for analysis purposes 1-point and 4.5% for a ~18-month out                  forecast on conventional refinance investment property rates.

@Srushti KhairnarHopefully you listened to the inputs on the thread and took action.

Carrying and paying off debt are not simply mathematical actions.

Your lease stating tenants are responsible for fines from their actions is definitely a good thing to have, but it’s only mitigating a part of your risk.For instance, let’s say your condo building has 100 units (made up numbers for easy math), and finds it needs to spend $1,000,000 on replacing the roof, siding, and HVAC.

All I knew was that I was tired of looking at properties for the last few years and wanting to take action, but never actually getting anywhere.

Great news for bird hunters that want shotguns, though!)

One, it would be a non-conforming duplex because we wouldn't be living in it, risking municipal action against us.
