看看俺一万元买的房

That is right.

HOA 230/month 是包含在租金$850裡嗎?
請問LZ是如何找到這麼好的deal?可否說來大家聽聽?

"HOA 230/month 是包含在租金$850裡嗎?" 应该是吧？ 他投资2万元，每月毛收入620， 很不错！ 祝贺！

Great Deal!

如果在同一个地段，40年旧的房子要2万，而8年新的要5万，租金差100，大家看是买40年旧的房子合算还是买8年新的房子合算? 可以这样比方吗：某人讨老婆，20岁的要5万，而40岁的要2万，你会怎样参谋？

这房是独立房还是towhourse？

没有可比性。讨老婆很多是感性，高矮胖瘦，投缘不投缘，娶了就不能卖。房产投资（不是自主屋）却完全是理性行为，看的是ROC （return on capital），cash on cash return，CAP rate （yearly income/total value）等等，赚了钱还可以卖，或者进行1031 exchange以合法缴税；完全不能掺杂个人喜好在里面。算一算就知道哪个合算。

把没人要的狗屎变成不错的现金流，这就是房地产的秘诀。当然，房东比较辛苦，要喜欢这一行才行。

回14樓；
How is the 40 yrs old house's condition? If everything is ready for the replacement, not only cosmetics wise, but also function wise (wire, plumbing, furnace and A/C, roof.....). A $30,000 might not let you go too far to just fix it up ready for rent. You also need to think about down the road: your tenant can use something not working properly (A/C not working, leaking pip....) as excuses and not paying you the rent and you can not even evict him/her if that is tenant's excuse. So instead of enjoy the rental income, you might becoming your rental property's slave. For 40 years old house, you also need to worry about "lead paint" and "asbestos removal". Without a properly handle can ends up a "health damage" lawsuit from your tenant. Unfortunately, a new law just added not too long ago to poor "old house owners": you have to hire special licensed construction company to handle lead paint and asbestos removal or any remodeling work relate to it. Otherwise, a big fine might be resulted. And as everybody knows "special licensed" is another word of "much more expensive". Please consult with your real estate attorney for detail and 三思而後行！

後記；對ㄧ個考慮讨老婆的光棍；“40岁的要2万“ 是賺到了 vs "20岁的要5万".

"进行1031 exchange以合法缴税"写错了，应该是“进行1031 exchange以合法推迟缴税”。sorry.
