We didn't buy it with renting it out in mind, but since we've already got it, we're giving it a shot.We bought it ~ a year ago for $179k, with a $120k 5/5 ARM currently at 2.75%.

If a transaction doesn't meet the "arm's length" test, it probably should not be engaged in.  

Once you start getting into the double digits of rentals, get into a pattern of how you like your places to be. 

My right arm is for all practical purposes a chicken wing right now. 1 hour ago I noticed my hand is quite swollen.

Finished the digital version in an afternoon and now waiting for the hardcopy to highlight and bookmark some of the important material I want to remember. 

I'm studying the SFH space and trying to get my arms around the cycles.

I havent gotten rid of any yet (7 years) but we also have a fireproof file cabinet for it all, after move out I get rid of all digital files (burn onto dvd) and put with the hard copy, so less concern to me that way. 

Check their website for any reports.To find out about an area go to IREM.org search for ARM certified property managers.

Essentially, we should always remember that the business we are in involves people, and knowing people can help you finish well.You may have an arms length approach to your business.

This will be my first mailing, and the double digit number gave me a start.
