An improperly mitigated sewer backup is definitely a deterioration, in almost anybody's opinion.  

when you have somebody willing to pay over 2.5m you are going to get people that want in river oaks, blvd oaks , west u maybe, memorial hedwig etc...not a condo...yes i know condos trade and yes i know that theres a ton being built...but those are not factors working for you.right now oil and gas execs have a lot of risk on the horizon, they are your target market in my opinion.  

There are many opinions and articles on the use of the 2% rule.  

If true, then just kick him out, just my opinion.

Not much jurisdiction that the state would have (I'm not an attorney so not legal advice...just an opinion).I think you may be referring to flippers where there is a double closing taking place.  

From my opinion, HELOCs seem to be a great vehicle for someone who needs cash for a temporary or short term basis, in this situation you can even get an added bonus of only paying interest and deducting the full amount on your taxes, but for an investor who likes to buy and hold long term and lock in risk without variable rates I don't think this is the best option.

Not asking for legal advice just your opinion.

Before anyone suggests building a home or putting a mobile on it, I am aware of that option but this post is specifically to ask about your opinion on putting storage units on these empty lots.Please consider that these are 'average' areas so a sheet metal structure with a chainlink fence around would be out of the question.

Much of it is an appreciation play and not so much cash-flow in my opinion, but still worth paying attention to.

I have a quick question in regards to the opinion of rehabbing my second rental property and have a question regarding a decision of cabinet colors, should I paint them White or Brown?
