We are only very moderately leveraged, but I am in no rush to change that and rather use the cash flow to re-invest either into upgrades (we are doing a ton of driveways this year) or more RE.I don't think there is a right or wrong way, like you said there are many different ways, I just find myself adjusting every year a bit more in that direction. most condos historically are not great appreciation plays. its a place to live and enjoy.. unless said condo was bought in Miami in 2008 to 2010 :)No $#@% mate.And Chicago has been a disaster for many years now.I pinged Bri about it a while ago and she said "Good luck" hahaI guess it's more a trophy property than anything else during my "ego" pumping days.A bit older, balder and smarter nowadays I guess.Less is more mate lol

I completely gutted and renovated this home, which is over 100 years old, including installing all-new electrical and heating systems.

I’m Ariam from Miami, I'm an aspirant for new real estate salesman (finishing pre licencing course).

I'm originally from Miami and lived in NYC so I get how you're feeling!

Ask how you can add value or partner on a deal—it's a great way to learn and build relationships.There’s an event this Tuesday in Miami.

Went to meeting in Miami this past week and wondering if it is too good to be true.

The heat pump water heater will be located in the adjacent laundry/storage building to "air condition" it.

You end up spending the extra money to purchase, rehab, furnish, clean and heat/cool the extra space for a return that doesn't scale with the added costs and often ends up underutilized.

Ivander.I am up in Sainnt Petersburg but I have an office in Miami. 

I have the local plumber lined up as well as warranty on AC and heating unit which gets serviced once per year.
