Their kid writing on the walls is likely not going to be covered.

Prospective Tenant:She’s a single mother of two children who wants to move into the property as soon as possible due to schooling for her kids.

Odd hours, long hours, rapid deployments, kids, spouse, basically 24/7 commitments.

I have known since I was a kid that real estate investing would be a great financial path and have set out with the intent to purchase an investment property multiple times over the past 15 years, but never jumped in.

As a kid, I had a little handheld, battery-powered antenna TV with a 2" screen.

The lenders that I worked with, didnt care about my age besides the fact that they were stoked to see a young kid get into real estate.

I was thinking about running a hardwood type fake flooring to go throughout the house or should I put rugs in the bedrooms?  What type of flooring do you use please.  Thank you, Gary

This is an area I believe not often explored and has led many to waste a lot of time waiting to refinance or worst waiting for appreciation, while great cash cow deals pass them by weeks after weeks, months after months, years after years. 

Not considering passing any of this in inheritence (no kids, plans) so i just need to maximize my returns.What is a good estimate to use regarding retirement funding from both rental property and 401k?

I think "Buying and Selling Real Estate" might be a good area, but don't hesitate to explore around for a better forum.
