@Mike Bonadies...Cash flow properties in a house hack are tough due to the lower cap rate in the DC Metro. 

If you are looking to quit your job in a timeframe: it might make sense to go bigger.

The main 1st duplex has been painted on the outside, the lower level has the new windows installed, both units have brand new high effenciency furnaces and a/c, which the upstairs never had duct a/c always window units.

If I own a primary home (State A) and then buy a second home (State B) as vacation home - thousands of mile away - and eventually move to vacation home due to my job change - is it possible to covert the primary home to vacation home (refinance to get lower rate - but that won't work because primary home already got the lowest rate?)

There are so many pieces of the maintenance puzzle that can affect its efficiency.If you're not opposed to outsourcing, companies like mine offer lower cost alternatives to hiring a full-time employee and allow the cost of managing the maintenance to scale equivalently to your growth.

If he has the kind of equity he states, they shouldn't have an issue with doing this, and placing the amount owed onto the principal, and perhaps spread the loan term out to reset at 30 years, or even going to 40, which would lower his monthly payment, and lessen his burden, which is what I am guessing got him in the trouble he is in now.

I am more than happy to do so but I will not be able to complete it until the end of January (they are okay with this time frame).How should I go about adding this agreement into the lease?

Anyone had gas pipes replaced by Pseg, know any timeframe for their work?

So, the land comps must've come in lower than the $13K, or the other offer is being more conservative.The key is to make sure there is a demand for the land. 

Hi Carlos,You have a time frame and a property type in mind.
