However, as many of you know, the majority of all rent we receive is already spent on operating expenses such as taxes, insurance, water & sewer, accounting, compliance & record-keeping, etc, and this does not include any mortgage payments that must be made on the properties in addition to all of these operating expenses.

Love to work with any of your buyers as well.I think the modern farm house will break up the old Portland style two story box's and we have the houses pre selected along with paint themes so it should look pretty cool ..

They are the ones along with these other people thinking outside the box that will help save the economy from totally tanking.We're Americans after all. 

In my infinite wisdom (or lack thereof at the time), I overpaid for this house and spent more than it appraised for (please don’t ever do that and learn from my mistake).

@Amit M.We use show boxes though tenant turner.

How many borrowers are out there that have spent the last ten years in one or two loan mods and/or one or two bankruptcies?

Remember the big box stores are expensive on the installation side.
