I am looking at sourcing different rebate programs or other for apartment communities.We have owners from out of state that are seeing significant appliance rebates for toilets, energy star rates appliances etc. in CA and other states, but I am having a hard time sourcing similar programs in Minnesota for market rate communities. 

100 year old low-mid income rental is not really expected to have perfectly level floors.. haha Sad, but true..

I am not sure at what level it changed, but he was certain I could sell now if I wanted.  

@Charlie FitzgeraldPaying a lender off in full once you decide you no longer want to do what you said you would do is what you are supposed to do.Incidentally my first nomadic owner occupant flip, I tried to call it an investment property because that seemed like the box it intuitively best fit into (I still feel that this makes the most sense at a 'common sense' level).

Annette in my opinion it boils down to security and risk and your comfort level in those two areas. 

It would look similar to the house below, but on grade level.

You can do this by interviewing them to determine their track record and level of expertise.

I applaud your determination, energy and attitude, the only concern I have is that you seem to be sold on gurus!

Too many investors chasing too few properties and bidding up prices to levels where there's no money to be made.

I'd like to spend my energy now on foreclosures and pre-foreclosures.
