For years, I knew that I did not want to stay in the Northeast but up until now I haven't felt like I was ready or had a good excuse to take the plunge and move.I have been reducing the amount of "stuff" in my life for years to the point where I can now fit everything that I own in (or on) my 2011 Honda Fit.I have paid off all of my debt, have over 6 months of my current spending in cash, and have a current NW around $282k with $120k of that in a taxable account.I have a stable job as a Data Analyst that I have been working remote with since the pandemic hit.I am single with no children or pets (but do have 2 small house plants)I love walking, cycling, mountain biking, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking... basically all things active and outdoors.I like to reduce the amount of my personal consumption and focus on the important things in life such as my relationships, health, and finances.I am that guy in the neighborhood that always walks or bikes everywhere although I have a great car parked in the driveway.Anyway, a good friend of mine asked what I thought about moving out west with him.

I would surmise to say its the #2 most important diligence item regarding property condition items (behind home condition).  

If it is, can I assume I am able to renew on a month-to-month lease under the current conditions?

Western University opened up in 2011 invited a large amount of medical students and other health services. the growth started a bit slow but seeing the success of the university and its efforts to expand investors are flocking this town.There are many more things going on in more towns but this post has gotten too long and I will leave the rest for another post.

Hello!
I'm in process of rehabbing the top floor of a duplex (this unit is 4 BR / 2 BA about 1500 SF) with plan to refinance and keep as a long term buy/hold rental. We acquired tenants downstairs - they're on a M2M ...

Look at homes with the same number of beds/baths/sqft/garage/basement etc....pick homes that are in similar condition. 

This depended on market conditions and whether or not there were pets.Keep in mind I was always at least 4-6000 miles away.

Originally this was our family home that we bought from a builder around 2005 and then took out a HELOC to do landscaping, air conditioning, blinds, patio, and other stuff that a new builder home needs. 

The price for a property that size will vary on various different factors- market, age, condition, how it is currently being operated/income, etc.

Let’s take skiing for example:Some people will start their skiing pursuit by first doing conditioning in the off season, so they’re in great shape.
