 Yes. There are fee waivers for indigent plaintiffs. I wish i knew what county she was in. I could provide more definitive guidance.

She may have to pay a filing fee to file the complaint in the proper court. But not for the legal representation.

i don't know if anyone caught my post, but MSU College of Law will help her with the eviction for FREE. As in NO COST.

from  the website:

Examples of legal matters that the Clinic is prepared to handle are:

• Reviewing court documents and other documents related to homeownership, rental disputes, and other housing disputes

If your in Michigan, Michigan State University College of Law runs a landlord tenant clinic at no cost. I've used their tax clinic to excellent results. Hope it works out for you.

Hi Wayne,

My wife and I are new to the area and have been looking to invest in Old Louisville. We saw this sign outside a beautifully renovated historic home while we were house hunting on 3rd Street.

. Obviously we can't speak to their reputation, other than the exterior of this home on 3rd Street. Just wanted to provide the lead.

Best,

Felix 

Wow thanks everyone for the responses. BP is a great sounding board, especially for people, like myself, who do not currently have a circle of friends and associates to bounce ideas off of.

Hello BP Community!

I just wanted to get the community's thoughts on this idea. I am an aspiring investor. My wife and I are looking to make our first purchase. As we were doing some property-hunting yesterday, we came across a boarded up mansion in a historic preservation area in the community. The property itself is about 4,400 sqft, built in the early 1900s. The property is absolutely gorgeous, but needs some TLC. We were considering doing a 203K loan for the renovations, but the cap for renovations is $35,000. My guess is that the property would need more than $35,000 of TLC. We were considering whether partial renovation and flip would be an option, or figuring out a way to raise additional money necessary to complete a full restoration. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this. And could an investor make a return without doing a full restoration? Additional background: We don't even know if the owner would be willing to sell. We've reached out to him via letter. The owner is current on property taxes.

Thanks BP for any responses.
