They have to experience it themselves....I have thought about doing just that.....I didn't know the allowable amount so thanks for sharing that information with me....This particular neighborhood is on the edge of being a C neighborhood....some people may say it is....so this girl who lives in the bubble would have a difficult time adjusting...especially since I watch the ID channel often....My boyfriend is a true urban boy...me not so much...we currently live in an A neighborhood and I love it....it is tucked away from the freeway so it requires a bit of driving but the community is safe and absent of any riff raff......We do both share a love for ethnic foods and culture which we don't have to much of where we currently live....we are constantly driving into the suburbs right outside the city.My house would easily rent for 1800.00 a month.

I am thinking of improving some of the landscaping at my rentals, and this gave me food for thought :)We are planning to take out two apple trees in my yard and will replace them with two more apple and two cherry trees.

The tenant trashed the place, smoked in it, left rotten food, holes in the wall, broken doors, and the list goes on.  

Just as important though, ask about the process - you want to see if they are going to be your point of contact or will you be passed off to an assistant / processor?

They likely have some templates to jump-start that process. Or

I've been to several and unlike what I am hearing from other cities, not many people bid on these auctions because they are intimidated by the process or they aren't sure.

If the expense was significant and you had a history of over allocating it to one property rather than others and then sold it later (with passive loss carryovers being released) I suppose that might an issue but that's just food for thought. 

I’ve never considered hard-money…tbh its something I’m not sure is right for me but I say that mostly out of fear due to not knowing about that process or what to expect and less because I can say I’ve explored it. 2.

They both worked in food service and made about $45,000 a year.
