@Anthony Marie, here on BP, probably the prime reason your idea is not overly-hyped as the way to go, is that it mainly suits folk who already have "big pockets".

Hello Everyone,A friend of mine wrote this article on the power of leverage while investing in real estate.

My main plumber has a connection with a licensed plumber for when that is needed. 

I am also interested in North Main neighborhoods (Earlewood, Elmwood Park & Cottontown) and certain areas in West Columbia right across the river ("The Avenues"). 

If not, your realtor should be the one finding out the answers to all these questions.I'm not sure what the main source of info is for foreclosure sales in Virginia but I'd suggest that you find out what the trustee sale buyers are using so you have a better idea of what's going on.There are a myriad of reasons why the lender might postpone a sale.

The main reason properties go to tax sale is people didn't get the bill because the address of record is wrong. 

For right or wrong many sellers do not like FHA. 3) Larger loan limits as shown below.With most lenders 75% of rents will be counted as income for helping increase your purchasing power like always. 

especially at the moment when you have a lot of vacancy (may increase further when you enforcing the rules short term). keep in mind vacant unit don't generate income and it's still a great return on investment (full year of rent vs what incentive you offer). that may keep him more motivated. also, I'd personally help with generating leads for new tenant and have manager mainly helping with onsite tasks (showing, move in, etc) for the short term. considering he's 70 years old as you mentioned, he probably are not as effective as using online tools for generating lead (FB marketplace, zillow rental manager, etc)Originally posted by @Cody Furman:Thank you, Bjorn. 

I agree with the previous posts, the tariffs brought an almost immediate increase in appliance prices, but from what I've seen it mainly affected the higher end products.

Most success stories I've heard involves owning many houses and they are all at different addresses.One of the main reasons is because of the pain you experience  with a vacancy.
