Built in 1901.Feel free to chime in if you think it's worth adding a heating unit and then making tenants use window units/ or whatever you think is a better solution.Thanks!

We were initially thinking of buying the first property for ourselves, but since we live in Miami, prices here have skyrocketed and feel that paying 200+ for a 1/1 condo plus crazy HOA fees is not a very savy investment.So instead we are looking to buying a Single Family about 30m - 1hr from here.My question is, I'm highly interested in the HomePath program, will the lender count my cost of rent towards my Debt-to-Income when it comes to getting a loan.

Miami. west palm. boca raton. all south east of florida.) do you get more deals done there more motivated sellers I know the propertys are a lot cheaper there then where I am at (new jersey)love to hear your feedback on this thanks.

During the winter it keeps the tenants bill cheaper by around $100pm and due to most of the tenants living month to month it makes the property more desirable and also they won't short the rent to pay the heating bill.Then you also have more higher ticket items like the plumbing and electrical which also aren't visible in some instances.If you spend enough time talking to someone and building that relationship you will find out if they are genuine or not and if they do repairs that the eye can't see or just lipstick on pigs.Thanks and have a great day.

125k will be a very fair price for the properties and rent roll on this property should be 2600 a month after taxes insurance and water/ sewer 2100. depending who's paying heat.

That's $150.00 and most families with freezers keep more than that on hand. ok, let's be honest here. most people just have one fridge. either a side by side or a top freezer. i'd like to have a separate freezer just for meat (like a whole cow butchered), but that's just a dream of mine, not happening.those normal freezers do not have a lot of storage space. 99% of people eat crap food which includes hot pockets, pizzas, waffles, not to mention disgusting frozen dinners that are purchased by people that just want to stuff their faces with something. after all, bad food is cheap and people just want to eat cheap. i understand that.because of the above, most people do NOT have the space to put that much meat in the freezer because meat does not stack as well as pizza boxes. that's my whole point. unless there is an extra freezer or you cook often (not just heat a bagel in the toaster), you dont have that much meat.oh, and btw, fridges and freezers are designed to keep cool for a long time if the power goes out. some people think that meat starts to rot as you open the fridge door.

In fact, the attorney who was giving the talk recommended steering clear of EB-5 schemes until the "heat" from the SEC dies down.

They found this out the hard way when they turned the heat on and just about keeled over from the odor.
