I'm taking this as a learning experience and grateful it's not a big-ticket event.

  - Floodplain classificationThese are just the quick ones that come to mind and are the big ticket items. 

But snowballing equity while keeping the properties is a huge golden ticket for investing.

@Eunice KimThe only way to know whether or not your tax returns/earnings will play a factor in qualifying for a loan is to call a couple lenders up and see if you qualify.Just call up a couple lenders today - it shouldn't take too long.If you are interested in doing a deal with an investor across the country - go spend the $500 for an airline ticket and meet with him in person and see if hes the real deal.If you are thinking of investing close to $150,000 - you owe it to yourself to spend $500 on an airline ticket to see him.

South Shore has the highest concentration of Section 8 tenants in the city, due primarily to working class, middle income flight.

If you're an out of state buyer get reviews, verify comps, verify condition, or.... just spend the $500 on a plane ticket to get your eyes on it.

No return flight yet planned - been on an R&R tour but also with a side goal of learning what I can about RE opportunities or other business opportunities. 

We went back and forth until I eventually found the images of the violation tickets from the City website.

Seemed impossible to a man who brought his 4 children with just $400 cash and a $5000 debt to the Lutheran Church for the flight to the US.

So I had an idea that of the money you get from a rental property (the expenses such as repairs, vacancy, taxes and CG) since you dont want to spend this and save for big ticket items in the future, where does people put that money?
