I'd like to setup a fairly regular meeting of the minds in Berkeley (where I live, selfish, I know!).

Most "regular home buyers" (non realtor and/or investor) I know use these sites as starting places to find homes to buy.

Btw, is anyone regularly organizing BP meetups down on the peninsula?

I had chosen good quality furniture, wallpaper, and other regularly used items that would be durable for a rental and eye catching (an experience type look) to get those bookings.

Because DSTS qualify as real estate for 1031 it is almost a surety that once someone owns a DST they will always 1031 when that real estate is sold - either into another DST or back into regular real estate. 

Moving is expensive and regular, incremental rent increases at lease renewal are expected and necessary to keep up with your operating costs. 

I have a few properties in the US primarily for generating a regular cash flow.

Johnson H- My wife was so helpful in our estate building with regular moving that she deserves a change!

Each of these strategies are viable within the niche of flipping higher end homes as well as regular ones.

I am not sure if it would block your washer lid from raising but you may be able to drill a couple holes only on the right hand side and install a regular master lock.Hope this helps.
