I have a stable job, I could be re-assigned out of state in the next couple of years, but if I don't I have no problem living here long-term.

A couple of months ago I experienced the same thing.

Hello everyone,I had visited a property couple of days ago in the Bronx, NYC and noticed that the building in the back has windows in every floor that have a clear view of the backyard of the house.

We're completing a renovation of a large rowhouse in the NoMa/H Street areas of NE DC in the next couple of weeks.  

So this puts the total at ~170K -- however I've seen multiple home sales in 2017 in this area that are in the range of 275 - 350K, and these weren't even brand new.So in other words, it seems like with a couple of months of part-time personal weekend effort, I'd  be able to make a sale profit between 105K and 180K.

Fast forward three years and soon leaving university for the real world, I am now considering refinancing the loan (17 --) 30 years) on both properties in order to buy a third and/or fourth property.
