Upstairs had a legit plumbing leak from old galvanized kitchen drain pipe, that was coming unfrom next door unit.

Put your properties for sale and simply transition to the cheaper properties as your old ones sell in twos or threes. 

What a small world

Thanks for any knowledge everyone willing to share. I'm new to the real estateI investing and am looking to make my first real estate investment. But I'm stuck between two things. The town I'm looking to invest in is ...

One of the properties I manage is in the Old North End (and not the coolest part) but between Airbnb, VRBO, and the other channels I will definitely be writing checks to my investor/owner that are over twice his mortgage payment come summer (so that means after clearing all expenses).

I found some lots in old neighborhoods, but not sure if it would sell...So just wondering how is everyone else flipping 10 + houses a year?

A crane should cost you $300 to take the old one off and place the new one on the roof.

I also just graduated from Pitt in April 2017 with a bachelors in chemical engineering... sounds like we were in the same graduating class, small world and H2P!

Am looking at these two properties in LA, one is a 4-unit 50 years old just East of Culver City, somewhere east of Hauser and just north of Jefferson Blvd. this one is a bread and butter property which almost covers its own expenses and will be completely carrying itself in 5 years, second one is a 3-units 95 years old on Eagle Rock in walking distance to Colorado Blvd with one unit vacant (needs 30K to rehab).

I find it really helpful to read and learn about how other people have progressed into this world of real estate.
