You sound like you plan to renovate at some point so I would say wait for that project until that tenant moves on completely.

Your first home sounds small will you be able to add another bed/bath on that property?

I thought both sounded high but its within 10 blocks of 2 major universities (Illinois State University/ Illinois Wesleyan) and from the research ive done, rent is very high around those schools.

Not to sound rude, but how do you find a tenant dumb enough to agree to that deal?

It sounds far and high enough from the ocean, but you never really know what kind of storm mother nature can cook up!

Thank you both.I do trust my agent just want to be sure and sound advice from you both.Katie, I hope to retire in San Diego in a few years.  

The good news (for now) is we just got a handful of inquiries/showings in the last day or two from people who sound really interested.

Without sounding too biased there are some great neighborhoods in Akron for single family investing. 

It sounds like your closing cost are going on top of the price. 2500 and change seems about right for that.

Does this sound like a good deal to anyone?
