I agree on all your points.Being new to real estate can also be like giving 5 year old matches or razor blades to play with; you can cause unintentional consequences if you don't know what you're doing. 

Even through the tears of all the ups and downs of construction ( Yes I cried ) Cause there is ALWAYS some sort of problem. 

Again, apologies if my comments caused offense.Regards,-Dmitri

We both have great jobs that pay very well, but unfortunately they cause us to be out of town about 1/2 the week, every week.

Is it that we all just want to be able to have a hairdo as bad as Trump and get away with it cause we r so loaded we don't care.

Watched Up with Chris Hayes this weekend, interested in the violent crime discussion, and surprised to hear the theory that it could be caused by lead and lead based paint and how abatement is essential.

While L/Os are a good tool in your bag they are not something you can count on everytime you find a property.The issue Simon almost touched on was building equity, you can cause alot of problems by including credits toward a purchase with rent payments, just don't do it.

See the crazy lady's post below:LANDLORDS..... keep in mind when you say NO PETS you ARE discriminating AGAINST disabled people with therapy pets BEFORE they have even had a chance to get into your building.. like the blind who has a therapy dog, or the elderly who might have a therapy cat, or the CHILD who might have special needs only his therapy dog can do... and THEY CAN AND WILL SUE YOU to own the property you are trying to rent... so reconsider renting to them that way you collect the money from them and retain your property instead of losing the property to them for DISCRIMINATION... cause i have had enough of being discriminated against and i hope all DISABLED people with THERAPY PETS ban together!!

The primary cause of appreciation is increased demand.

Jerk got what he deserved, but came to find out that repair was not covered by my homeowner's insurance.Apparently damages caused by insects, birds, rodents and household pets are not covered.
