I currently rent, but plan on purchasing a duplex or triplex next year.A little about me - I was an auditor for a CPA firm for almost three years, which consisted of working many late nights and weekends, until I suffered through an unexpected health issue and realized I didn't want to work my life away.

@Kevin Phu I totally believe in the power of the side hustle. 

He's lived there 5 months and already has had power turned off, trash can revoked etc.  

They aren't living quarters and most likely don't have power so there is minimal risk.

Very powerful and inspirational.

Strange item, power was still on, and I have no idea who was paying the bill for those months.I take some responsibility for not looking into the issue earlier.

I think the idea of using seller financing is great, plus nailing down the rehab amount will give you more negotiating power with the seller.

This is why some people claim we should not verbalize our goals (we find affirmation and encouragement merely in making goals rather than attaining them) however, I still believe in the power of positive energy.

Maybe there are just powerful hotel lobbyists in San Diego.

When i moved into a place landlord made me fill move in checklist while there was no power in the house.
