[Susan V.]

SCENARIO:

Personal credit scores: less than 500

11 rental units; 9 located in IL; 2 in PA; gross rental income: $6360 when 100% occupied

5 currently vacant in IL

1 will be vacant in PA

Current gross rental income: about $2000

4 Units in IL need substantial work (around $100K, but can start and complete 1 for about $25K)

Contractors in IL need to be paid in full: $23K

Total debt for all properties: $240K

Total estimated value of all properties: $273K

LTVs: 69%; 93%; 55%

QUESTION: What would you do to get positive cashflow again?
