Condos in established neighborhoods. 

IIRC, our initial balloon was in 7 years, but I worked on refi'ing to get out of the ballon pretty much as soon as our business was sufficiently established to have a chance of convincing a bank to get us a better loan.

Either way, landlords are able to establish rules related to the care and presence of animals kept on the property.

I'm looking to establish a relationship and do more deals in the coming years.  

A unique twist on established principles.  

If I believed an escrow could be established with a law firm likely to be in business for the term of the CFD, at least in my state (as I currently understand the laws) I would proceed.  

You need an established cushion of cash as a landlord because as they say **** happens. 

Hate to echo all the wise responses above, but it does sound like you're setting yourself up to be a potential distressed foreclosure statistic the next time prices start dropping or your good neighbourhood goes bad (and thinking it can't happen is not being optimistic, it's pure gambling).Keep renting until you can afford better, or even keep renting period, and invest in real investments, as opposed to the home you want to be living in - you can rent that home easily enough, with no big dramas occurring if you're suddenly stressed for cash for whatever reason, and have to downscale - you simply move to a smaller place in that case.The criteria for the home you want to live in and the good investment you want to purchase are completely different - often contradictory.

Therefore, I am uncertain as to how much I can profit, and therefore, I am on hold.I would say that if you already had Portfolio of buildings like mine which had properties acquired decades ago and had already captured a large amount of Appreciation where the Price may move down a bit, then it's worth keeping for the Gamble that the future politics may not touch 2 to 4 Family Buildings.So for me personally, I am keeping the portfolio but am not expanding it.What I will expand, however, is my Property Management business should the future regulate my buildings!

May I ask how long it took to establish a great team?
