I was just about ready to pull the trigger on a property, but started thinking that AFTER the renovation, my newly depleted liquid funds will keep me sidelined.

But then I think that I need to focus on one area and pull the trigger for Roseville.

Real estate isn't going anywhere, don't let this type of hype make you pull the trigger on something you haven't had time to properly vet.Go ahead and spring for your own 3rd party inspection / appraisal.

My full time job and  2 young toddlers are enough to keep me pulling on my hair.  

@Tessa Burks @Mike Bean and @Matt Leber have great points.Like most of us on this forum,  the point of making this purchase would be to put you and your family a better financial situation.That being said you need to make sure that you run all the numbers involved in this scenario before you pull the trigger.  

You lose 2 months of rent (about $1,400 in mortgage payments,) spent $1,500 getting it rent ready again, and triggered a tenant placement fee equal to 1 months rent. 

I decided not to pull the trigger as I didn't want to invest in the new machines, but I like the fact that they run their system off blue tooth so you don't have to have internet you pay for. 

I've had to go over to clean hair out of both bathroom tub drains.....

Essentially, you would purchase the propert in your own name with the preferred rate, then transfer it into a Land Trust (this does not trigger the Due on Sale Clause thanks to the St Germain Act,) then assign the LLC as the beneficiary of the Trust.

Master lease is great if the terms work for you pull the trigger
