The main thing with associations is you don't buy into one that is too broke, ideally your reviewing some financial data before offering, not always practical though.

Well, as I get older, more and more I catch myself checking my closet at night for signs of the broke-y man.

It pretty much broke even that is why I was reluctant, I had it appraised this year and it has appreciated 49k from my original purchase price. #2, SFR I bought from a wholesaler (you can see the pictures and numbers from my previous post).

A girl can dream...

It has been very well taken care with the major nuts and bolts like the windows, roof etc being in good condition currently but it was basically treated as "if it's renting and not broke don't fix it". 

I don't foresee myself buying a home in the immediate future, seeing as I'm currently broke and just graduated, but ideally I see myself buying and renting out multifamily properties. 

I know people do 1031 exchanges but what about the girl or guy who got into real estate because they want some extra income, or pay off school loans, or use it towards a vacation?

However, I am broke and can not afford another house right now.
