Think back about the added value you created for OTHER investors over the years.

Obviously id like to catch the rates when they are low, rather than risking them going back up by next summer.

We also rented units in partnership with refugee resettlement programs to recent arrivals; those were a bit different because the rental agreements were in the name of the tenants, but backed up by the resettlement agency paying hefty security deposits.

If we would get our money back when we sell next year.  

All in total: $258,000Projected value $335,000+ (My appraisal report comes back in 10 days, I'll update when I get it)Refinance with 60k cash out for payment of $1750 / monthMonthly rent from basement apartment $1150Monthly cost ~850 a month after utilities with $0 cash left invested. $65,000+ equity in property. 

After 2 months back and forth with the seller, I finally closed last Friday (26th). 

I would like to use it, but so far it has been worthless and I just end up going back to using Firefox or Chrome from my Motorola.

Currently were down here in Houston but are planning in the near future to move back up to old home in the Northwest Seattle or Portland Area.

It's worked out great as I've done a few large apt deals and my experiences and earning potential is far greater than I ever thought was possible this early on.I say this because its natural to want the safety net from leaving one good paying job and wanting to jump back into someone else paying you for another job.  

I purchased a home about two months ago, the deal was after we closed escrow the seller wanted to do a rent back for two months, which I was okay with.
