The water sort of eats at the block and eventually it will crumble.We see older homes in the Valley with wall to wall grass but the newer ones have almost unanimously gone to the island of grass.

You know what they say, the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.  

From your experience, will the legal fees eat away a significant portion of the amount recovered?

However the property taxes in that area eat up 1/3 of the yearly rent.

Meaning at the end of the year I don't want an alligator eating my cash flow and I don't want a wad of cash (really any cash) tied up in it so the loan payment is low enough it is covered by the rents.

Making $100 a month cash flow and having to spend that $1200 from multiple years in a 4K roof eats ALL your returns and essentially isn’t true cash flow.

In addition to the neighborhoods you mentioned, I'd also look at Hampden and Remington (Grab a bite to eat at R House, it's pretty cool).

Hi Everyone, I recently (last year) changed my homeowner insurance for my rental properties to a different provider and now that one year has lapsed and I need to renew it, the premium went up by 10% - which seems very high to me.Two things to note are that the provider is able to insure me in both the states of Texas and Indiana and also includes a $10M in umbrella coverage.So, I am basically debating if to "eat it up" this time and hope that it will not repeat every year or go look for a new policy.I would love to hear your experience with annual premium increases.Thank you,Elad

But it eats up a tremendous amount of time.

Compliance will eat your lunch and it is easier to do a sale on owner financing.
