On the scale of mistakes you can make, $200 is on the low end.

The FIfighter was pointing out those are the golden years where maintenence costs are really low.

Then, I worked for a tax company for 10 seasons until I retired from the workforce.

PS ive bought a low cash flowing property Hoping for appreciation but it was way way below replacement costs and in a resort town.

They took a 5 acre parcel I had purchased to build new transmission lines and re-conductor old lines in order to provide power from a new utility scale solar generating plant (solar farm) they had constructed.My attorney hired the appraiser with only 2-3 weeks prior to the date our expert witness and discovery production had to be turned in to the courts.The appraiser found very low comps in the area.

The purchase price relatively low, only $47.5K.

I think in your situation, I would be using the extra savings from your very low rent to pay down debt and build savings.

We have decide to scale up and look for a 60+ property in a c or low b class.

There are also services that allow you to list your property in the MLS for a relatively low amount .

Which is maybe 10-15 steps to the parking area.I know other multi units will supply a shovel ( that is returned at end of lease) and one bag of salt per season.
