I imagine Washington is just as expensive.Now I am focusing on out of state rentals simply because my business model can't scale and I don't want to be landlord for 100+ college kids sharing rooms lol. 

end post...Just kidding guys, well sorta.

When I'm at Menards I ask them if they have any sets of keys leftover from rekeying.

My husband and I would like to purchase a new home in two years to get our kids in a better school district.

But is it crazy to think I could get all flooring done with the 16K I have already saved up, and have some left over?

It’s like asking a kid if they want peas or broccoli or carrots, not asking if they want to eat vegetables.

Make sure you know the difference.If your schools are lower it means you’re less likely to have families with small kids.

So, if after court costs, lawyer fees, lost opportunity costs, that whatever is left over when collateral property is sold at a sheriff's sale there is enough to cover your loan principal and interest, then yes, you do have effective collateral.

Let's breakdown a few locations referenced.All of NJ* Pick up all the NJ Transits Stops Folders at Newark Penn Station and study the following* Express Stops back to NYC from all routes* Education for kids* Community involvement* TaxesGreater Philadelphia Market including SJ Hub Camden, Burlington & Gloucester Counties* What Neighborhoods in Philadelphia (55+ Designated Neighborhoods with a different renter in each)* Repurpose, Turn Key or Develop?

You don't want to get locked in to a 2 year lease and figure out the kid is a psycho and the caregiver doesn't take care or clean up after him like they should.
