Been doing it for 4 years and it has enhanced my returns significantly.In the end there is no magic bullet of safety, liquidity and high yield returns in this rate environment. 

Sold 1 property and considering selling the other which is similar to what you describe.The legislative environment looks to me like it will only get worse and not better for landlords....why bust your butt to have the government so far up it that you cant enjoy the rewards of your work.I recommend the sell option while the market is hot with people fleeing NYC

I am a little surprised that this topic isn't discussed regularly, because in the current interest environment the rates for investment property financing are surprisingly high.

I dont see how anyone can dispute that investors will look also but it means a competitive sales environment which is good for seller. 

yea, the SF startup environment is very different than startup environment in south bay. 

:D I admit that I know very little about developing, but I certainly can agree with your beliefs about the internet as well as the current economic environment.

And it is certainly an open, multi-tasking environment where you can nurture an interest that may indeed become a full time job after undergrad.

Or this past summer- being one of the first Americans in Paris and the family being treated like royalty in Fendi as my wife picked out a new bag... my boys getting coke after coke delivered to them, my wife sipping champagne as she dragged out the experience.

Conversely regular, long term exposure to small amounts may be the cause of respiratory issues years later - that is what the investigation to which I referred in my prior post above is examining.No one here is telling you that you must remove the asbestos from your buildings, but you do have to disclose its presence when you sell and the day is coming when you will likely have to disclose it to your tenants.Once again, I am advocating that landlords and rehabbers educate themselves and continue to keep there knowledge current as our understanding of the impacts of long-term exposure to asbestos, just the same as you would with other hazards in the built environment such as lead, mould, PHPs, formaldehyde, etc.
