Also, does he have an alternative investment that he wants to trade this into?

Once the first property is done I would then look to move into the next property which I acquire, repeat process of potential frustration.Scenario 2:Alternatively, I have thought about looking at purchasing a duplex to get started and renting out one half while living in the other.

Hey Matt,The first thing that I'd say is that the tool you're using is not the MLS, it's a company that buys data from the MLS and then displays it for consumers.If your choice is between Redfin and the local MLS (which is called MRIS in the DC area), then the MLS will have a slight advantage just based on the sheer amount of data that's available for any given property.

Or you could rip a short piece of flat trim to the thickness you can allow and do a similar treatment.BTW, Allure is a great flooring choice if you haven't put it in yet.

Or, would July be a bad choice because you'll lose a weekend to July 4th holiday weekend?

If the house is actual cash value and insured for 50% you could get even less like maybe $4,000 paid out on a $20,000 claim because they depreciate the value of the damaged property, then penalize for being underinsured, then subtract the deductible.The modified replacement is a good alternative.

If the tenant still doesn't pay (and calls my bluff), I have no choice then but to evict.

Some of the sellers of real estate there were apparently demanding to be paid in an alternate currently other than the argentinian peso.

My choices are "recent added date" or "original recording date".

@Jon Klaus Hey, still putting together a list/criteria for my investing- focusing more on the Alternative Mortgage side.
