@Itsik Morin Riversdale is hit and miss. Properties closer to the river are generally good, but a couple streets down can be rough. Personally, I think it could be an up-and-coming neighborhood. There could be opportunity in the future with the new arena bring built downtown too.

@Roy Cleeves I'd love to hear the story behind those Orlando properties. If you'd care to share, please pm me!

Great points. Thank you for the reply, your insight is much appreciated.

Hi all,

I have a 7 year old, top floor condo unit listed for sale. The month after the realtor listed it, the tenant said there is water damage in the ceiling. I notified the property management company responsible for the building, and they said they would look at the roof and get it repaired. Two weeks later, nothing has been done and the water damage is now in the walls and seeping down. I called the property management company back, they said they're waiting on a lift to get to the roof. Following up, they no longer answer my calls. This will clearly be a long process.

Since I can't sell the unit in this condition for a reasonable amount, I am taking it off the market.

Is there anything I can do legally to speed up the repair process? It's not fair for my tenant to live in a destroyed place for an extended period. If I decrease rent for the time being to keep her there, can I charge that back somehow? I don't think I'd be able to get somebody else in there with the deteriorating condition of the place.

@Jim K. I thought it was funny.

@Stevie Delacruz I wish I would have started at 19. I once read a quote that really stuck with me, and I think it directly applies to your situation. "Don't think you can't do anything. Instead, figure out how you can do it." That's what separates the boys from the men in my opinion. It's never too early to invest. All you need to do is find a way to do it. With the amount of research and reading you've done, I have no doubt that you'll find a way. As a few others have said, a since you don't have a lot of money to put toward a deal, I'd also suggest offering your time. Even if you don't get an entire deal for yourself, the experience is very valuable.
