I'm 25 and definitely way less than 500k... ;D

If you were less experienced or some newbie/first time landlord, then I wouldn't think it would be a good idea. But it seems like you're an experienced landlord with property management and you understand the process and have a system in place. Given all that, I would say go for it. Thanks for pointing out that the sale might take a lot longer than expected. It would be nice to get some cash flow while you wait for the sale. I don't know where your property is but I'm in the SF Bay Area and I'm so used to seeing any decently priced property going pending with a few days (or a week at most)... My family and I brought 2 triplexes last year but this year we couldn't buy any property. The prices in the area went up like crazy and every decent priced property had multiple offers and was way over asking. I'll keep looking and waiting...

For that little a month, personally I wouldn't bother renting it out and save my energy to work towards getting it sold instead...

Hmm They know you are selling the place in a few months but still want to rent and make upgrades... that does sound good...maybe too good.. Since you say it will be a tear down anyways, sounds like there is not much to lose as long as the below is considered. But with that said, I would still do the standard application/credit check/rental agreement/etc. Also what is rent going to be? Few things I would consider: Is your state friendly to landlords? is there rent control in city/county? How is the eviction process (if necessary)? Good luck.

Why only BP?

Bought more BAC common. can't do options/other cool stuff due work restrictions :'(

If the spending limit/debt limit impasse continues, he might get his chance to load up again.

I think the threshold is $150 million. If you guys are referring to the 13F, it's $100 million. http://www.sec.gov/answers/form13f.htm Thanks

Long suspected but Journal broke it today as confirmed. Apologies if this was posted on another thread. Curious to see when these "different positions" will show up on the 13F or if it will be a separate filing. Nice! I am surprised that this HF started on Jan 1st but there wasn't any SEC filings to show its positions. Is there a way to see what it currently holds? :P I thought the Fund has to hold assets of $250 M or greater before it has to disclose its holdings with the SEC?

Berkshire Hathaway Could See $680 Million Profit on Mars Investment http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304906704579115141919877638.html?mod=WSJ_hp_LEFTWhatsNewsCollection Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRKB +0.34% stands to make at least $680 million in profit from a 2008 investment in candy company Mars Inc. Mars recently bought back $4.4 billion of bonds from Berkshire that it had sold to the giant conglomerate to help finance a $23 billion purchase of Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., people familiar with the matter said. Berkshire sold the notes back at 115.45% of their face value as well as accrued interest on Oct. 1, one person said. "We can confirm that on October 1st, 2013 we repaid $4.4 billion of subordinated notes lent to Wrigley by Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway status as minority owner of Wrigley remains unaffected," a Mars spokesman said. Berkshire continues to own $2.1 billion of preferred stock in Wrigley, which operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mars.

lol, got me... In my my mind, I was like how are those value names...did we suddenly switch to being a growth forum. hahaha ;D

I guess I have to wait for the debt ceiling debate for a bigger pull-back.

I was hoping for a bigger drop too. Maybe huge sell-off tomorrow if nothing gets done tonight.
