West Edge (formerly the Horizon Project) is the expanded medical research complex that I think Scott is referring to:http://www.westedgecharleston.com/The vision for this was in place 10 years ago but the economic downturn put the brakes on it as it did so many things. 

I have to keep myself in check, and hearing this from you guys encourages me to pump my brakes a little!  

Hate to brake it to you but two things in life are an absolute certainty: 1) death at some point and 2) paying taxes.You can only defer the payment of taxes (assuming you have exhausted all means of reducing the taxable income/gain as much as legally possible).You say you "have been reading up" on this.

For the most part we just do oil, brakes, and tires.

That set of brakes cost them 30$ but they charged close to 100$ plus labor.

Wes how do you feel about north of Sacramento, I know a lot of people moving out of sac into yuba county where rent is cheaper, and its only 25 min to sac, I think the Plumas lake area is going to be a sought after market, how do you feel?

They'll certainly require inspection stickers, tires, brakes, alignment and other repairs.  

It's possible some lines with brakes can be sleeved.

BUT, despite my desire to get started, I chose to put on the brakes and educate myself, to forego possible short-term paydays in favor of long-term risk mitigation.

Currently the property has 2 tenants paying 775 for each unit = 1550 one of the tenants will vacat once I take over the property , va allows 60 days once I take ownership to move in so the mortgage brake down is below For a 30 year fixed with 4.5% rate you’re looking at the following monthly: Principal and Interest: $430.68Insurance: $85Winter: $3.58Summer: $161.75Total: $681.01Benjamin Allen So at 775 - 681.01= 94 positive cash flow and the live for free , then I'll move in a year do the same thing Matt Castle the roof is 4 years according to the sellers discloser agreement and the other big ticket items will be part of the inspection right ?
