That is really cool looking! I bet that would look great inside too!

2015 VA Loan Limits

@Mathew Deines

  Thank you so very much for sharing your story! I too am a vet and am looking for my first multifamily!

You said your DTI was 58% how did that work specifically? I thought they wanted to see less! Did they calculate the rent with the increases, or was that with the existing rent at 75%. Do they subtract the taxes and insurance and then use 75% of the rent?

I have an existing rental and wanted to use the income but wasn't sure how they add it into the DTI picture.

Thank you! And best of luck on your next investment!!

This is on Amazon.com (hopefully I can post this!) I bought one a couple of months ago (paid about 20.00 more) along with the tapping block, the pull bar and the spacers. Didn't use the spacers as the drywall was up a little far and the spacers kept falling into it. I just used scrap pieces of wood for the spacer.

Easy to use and made the job go fast! You just need a saw for the length wise cuts!

I have no affiliation with Amazon.com.  I just order everything from them! LOL

 So how did things go?

I think it would be nice to add some colorful awnings for the windows! They would add color and function. Lots of rocks some boulders and a few drought resistant plants, and maybe a bit of fake grass here and there.

Congratulations on your purchase I look forward to the after pics!!!

My boyfriend heard a story about a church in San Francisco that installed sprinklers in the doorway to keep homeless off the steps. It seems there was a back lash (along with permits needed and watering restrictions) and they are going to remove them. There were  homeless that still stayed though, using raingear to keep the water off!!

Don't know if sprinklers will work in your area.

The skunk spray idea in the dumpster sounded pretty good...along with locking it.

If you live close by, drive through the neighborhood and give a call on any "for rent" signs you see in yards.

This also is a possible lead for driving for dollars!!

If they are good and pay on time why kick them out? Just because they are actively looking to buy?

They would have to give you notice just like any other tenant (many reasons why they move)

I would continue business as  usual until I get the notice from them that they are moving.
