I was sort of fearful of offending the broker and somehow losing out on this house, so I didn't question her further when she told me that the amounts are automatically filled in and that she can't change them.

then there are unknown variables such as municipal requirements, tenant complaints, tenant damage to unit, vandalism of an empty building, freeze damage, the list goes on and on.Welcome to the lending world, which is not quite as simple and automatically profitable as most people think.

You can use their online kitchen design to layout it out and then it automatically calculates your inventory supply checklist and price.

Here is one thread but not the one I was looking for.http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/102/topics/65246--automatic-stay-for-tenant-that-just-filed-bankruptcy-

And if someone sneaks a washer/dryer into the unit, I suppose I could look the other way.The electric, water and cleaning costs are very high for the laundry room, and for 6 smaller units, I am not convinced a laundry room is automatically warranted.

I like the automatic payments but I don't like the rent amounts so I tend to say no unless they know their voucher amount and it will cover the rent.That being said, I agree with above comments - NO EVICTIONS!

Also, the increase is not automatically the full 2% unless rates rise substantially, for example.Because you are looking to move in the next few years it might be more expensive to refinance at this point vs. risking potential rate increases.As far as paying down principal, that will reduce your loan balance.

Since data is downloaded automatically from your bank account (and other accounts - credit cards, traditional investments, etc) and categorized automatically, its great at automating most of personal finance.

An agent I had worked with for years demanded a 9 month contract to SELL my house, PLUS another automatic 6 month extension, AND, if it didn't sell in that time, if I sold it myself after that time, for the next 6 months I would owe her a full commission unless I signed and sold through someone else.

Kyle- There is a LOT less stress if you have an automatic income already coming in from a job.
