I am curious about what sort of benefits you've seen to the bottom-line/performance of your rentals.

When you start thinking along these lines (repetitive, sustainable business - not a one time flash in the pan windfall) your picture will become more realistic.

Also, it's worth considering you are building a good credit history by paying back the loan early...like a solid line of credit.

You should go file as many complaints on line (yelp etc). 

Bottom line: Be careful, be patient, and do your homework. 

The property is located in the first ring eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh along dedicated rapid transit line just four stops and 25 minutes from downtown.   

@Matt K.Like take out a line of credit on the house?

But they seem to be happy.Bottom line - regardless of his chosen direction he can defer at least some of the tax - enough to make the 1031 worth it for sure.

Hi Everyone,                         I'm trying to find good banks in the Indianapolis area to build a relationship with, so that I could get some good loan terms/HELOC terms from them down the line.

If you have people lined up to rent, you are likely low and if no one calls, you are likely high, each assuming a healthy balance of supply and demand.How are higher prices achieved?
