Like I could build it for less than half what they say.

About half the time here.

Leaks, heat, water heaters, ac units, garage door openers etc.But you get some people, that are like well the paint is getting moldy in the bathroom(even though it was painted just a year and a half ago), or there is no screens on one of the windows or doors, or even to the point that lightbulbs are burnt out, and expects me to hop over and replace.

If I have all the cash needed, which is 600K + 200K + 100K = 900K, and sell it for 1.2 million in 6 month, the return is 300/900 = 33.3% for half year.

So more than half of Americans not only can not budget more than a few months down the road, but is living paycheck to paycheck,"  What does this pool of renters mean to landlord screening and the future of reliable tenants?

I have been listening to the BP podcast for about a week and a half or so now (downloaded about 75 of the 103 episodes and listened to them) along with a couple other REI podcasts.

Now, half of the condos(about 250) are owned by a property management company that rents them as apartments.  

Yeah, I only believe half of what i see on Zillow or trulia.

I put one half of my duplex up for rent yesterday and so far have 3 people interested (I already know one is not qualified).

Also, you have to have people renting the boat each weekend at $400 minimum per half day.It just seems like a lot of work and you would be hard pressed for a good ROI.
