I was surprised at how popular our house was.

I was just surprised on the cost to go to a local meetup in NYC.  

I am doing the first showing tomorrow, hopefully I don't come in to some surprise (I doubt it as these were genuinely nice people).

I am surprised that the place is like that with SEC-8 agency involved.

I've been reading this site for some time now, preparing for the day I buy a property and I I've read some posts that I had questions about.Some people say the charge the tenant "x" amount per service call for repairs such as broken appliances.I also read a post where a landlord states in the lease that they provide working appliances at the time the tenant moves in and then the tenant is responsible for any repairs while the are in the unit.I guess I'm surprised this is even possible, especially having the tenant responsible for repairs altogether.  

To me it's not surprising that the stock market is crashing.

, so we will likely be trying to move from our one bedroom apartment to an actual SFH in a year or less.Unfortunately, an average sized home in a mediocre to decent area by us can easily cost $500k or more, not to mention property taxes well over $10k/year.I just got off the phone with a credit union and got pre-approved for a loan for the investment property, however should I go to them for a mortgage on a second house in the future, they will not count any rental income until I've had that MFH for at least two years.My concern is that if I go ahead with the purchase of an investment MFH now, and next year I go for a mortgage on a SFH for our primary residence, we will only be approved for a mortgage of $XXX, whereas if I had never purchased that MFH, we would be approved for $YYY, where YYY is significantly higher than XXX.Depending on the exact purchase price, the mortgage on the MFH would likely only be for around $45k or so maximum, so with a correspondingly low monthly payment, I'm not sure if that's enough to really make a large difference in what I'd be approved for a year down the road, but I'd definitely like to know in advance rather than be surprised by it!

I understand some of these items are required like the smoke detectors in each room, but things like #3 and #8 surprise me.

So instead I decided to list the apartment on airbnb and gage the response. and to my surprise its been a huge success. 

The property is not huge, but I want to make sure I'm not caught with any surprises after closing.
