Hard money is a business that I wouldn't ever want to delegate to some third party and it requires constantly sourcing new deals to maintain.

Five or more is commercial and you can often buy more commercial units for the same money as you would pay for a 4-plex.Some people like to buy 4-plexes only since they are small, easy to maintain, and (in normal times) easily financed with residential loans.

Its human nature, and something to do with ego probably.Or perhaps having honesty and integrity comes with having and maintaining core beliefs.

Neighborhood seems safe and all the houses look to be decently maintained.

It is harder to find stuff from several years back and to sort for things in general, but it is much easier to maintain.

I get about $500-550 a month on each of them and I can buy them for under 10k and they're cheap to rehab and maintain because the total square footage is smaller.First determine the type of house you want, then determine the physical area you want it.

An added benefit is that the payments decrease when the loan adjusts if you prepay the mortgage to maintain the same amortization period.

It cost so much more to maintain $100k in coverage when I might only need $50k in 10 years.

I'd happily maintain my position I've posted before that I would fully support Obama or Hillary cleaning this one up Vince Foster style.It has to be far more legal than the kill order Obama put out on that American citizen Imam overseas.

I would steer clear of that if your intent is to maintain ownership until the option is exercised.
