Whatever financial rules you decide to set for yourself, just be sure to stick by them no matter what as you are evaluating potential deals.

Looking for information on commercial properties and potential tenants in the East Bay. 

As such, I have little thought about how other potential buyers may react.I always look for value. 

> They stuck me with a -$1000/month for what they could count for income on my rentals.Yes, that hurts.

Potential sellers tend to throw away mail pieces that become too familiar.

I have a couple potential properties that I could make offers. 

I'd like to find something preferably in Lakewood, Kamm's Corner, West Park or Ohio City, potentially Rocky River.

This includes gaining an idea of possible Title Companies, reputable attorneys, and potential buyers.

To set the stage, here are a few key points:Property:2 story townhouse2 bed / 2.5 bathMostly carpet18 month old (yep, its brand new)Situation:Nobody was hurt to my understandingTenant did not have rental insurance even though it was required in the lease per my property managerTenant admitted, in writing, they caused the fire.Kitchen fire that burned the kitchen completely and I have smoke damage throughout. 

The only issue with a condo would be the potential holding costs with HOA fees.
