@Hunter Cone, Hi Hunter, You should look to find a great property managers to help you alleviate any troubles with long-distance real estate investing.

Which if you read the fine print, is going to get ALOT of people in trouble.

Sorry for your troubles.

The big reason is that I treat my tenants professionally without throwing emotion into the mix and ramping them up, I document everything, I know the law, and I have policies and procedures in place to act quickly when trouble arises.Now that I've bragged about it, I'll probably have an eviction soon and ruin my record!

Yet I have 1500 glowing 5 star reviews and it's because I turn away the trouble guest. 

We all have trouble looking in the mirror and accepting our own role in a bad situation. 

I was wondering now that the calculators have a new lay out, I'm having trouble figuring out how to add my logo.

Not sure how the county assesses values exactly, but it seems they don't go by loan/refinance amounts, but will account for sale prices -- wasn't there a rumor they used Zestimates at one point and got in trouble for that?

If you borrow money to buy a house that's going to produce income to cover those debt payments, the operating costs of owning the asset, and have money to cover capital replacements/reserves, it makes sense to leverage. 

In this case, you could then refi after you have increased the NOI and get all or most of your capital back while having an income-producing storage unit.
