So you would have to change the oil every 2 years? And I bet you sell the car before you need brakes!

I like privacy, I wouldnt wanna have 2 of my tenants listening to me fucking or the other way around lol… my plan is to buy a bunch of multi units, but cheap rehabs that I can buy outright and rent them.

Werd. I was considering buying a duplex a while ago before I bought my house but the thought of living next to people who pay you to make sure everything is perfect in their place is no good. I’d hate people knocking on my door at 3am (just because they know I’m the landlord) if their faucet doesn’t work.

I wouldn’t want to live in a duplex either, but it does make sense for some people. I’m just anal about my own privacy, etc. I understand why people do it. If you had good friends who you rented to I could see that work too.

hell yeah, its a smart thing to do without a doubt, get your mortgage and taxes paid for free and live for free at the same time, makes perfect sense… But the privacy is a big issue, people get in your business, like chris said, the maintenance stress of being “on site” ext

that was you !

I thought i saw a wave and was just about to wave back as i switched lanes and then looked back and saw the  
lady behind me wave back to you lol so i figured you were waving to her.

i noticed your car because of the extra shiny silver wheels and tint and yellow fogs but wasnt sure if it was you since  
its a pretty common setup on that car.

thanks for the compliment im glad you like, ive heard it both ways ( wheels too big ) and wheels look great but  
im glad you think they look good.

It didn’t look slammed, but it looked a tad lower than your basic TSX (which I think sits pretty high up for the kind of car it is).

saw a pic? I never put a picture up…I have done alot of remodeling since we bought it as well.

but yah that FHA was a pain in the ass. So strict. I sold my quad and made a big money deposit and they wanted a proof of bill of sale and everything to prove where the money came from. The quad was custom built from the frame up and didnt have a Vin # so it didnt have a title. It was a full blown race race quad llol. Cash in hand and see you later kind of thing. Luckily we had more then enough money to cover it even without the quad deposit, they were just driving me nuts about it.
