First though, you need to solve the homeowner's problem.

Our previously described (and now solved) problems with getting our building permit have cost us 6 delayed months.

Maybe someone will solve that with video conferences.The best way to get started in RE is to take the time to learn the basics, generally what is required for a real estate agent, that can be had by certified teachers, under state approved curriculum, you don't need to be an agent but you should know the same basics.

A lot of what I read is solving other people's problems by getting them cash and you a property but conventional financing doesn't allow a quick enough sale.

Bill, I apologize but I am not sure I understand the method.

Even if you don't have the money to pay for repairs to her place initially at least getting her out of the property solves your initial problem, after you get her out you can get new tenants in the other places and build reserves to fund repairs to her unit.

Hopefully, you have a financing contingency and the appraiser will save you if you have a purchase contract.The owners always have problems, we try to solve them to make a deal, but this is no deal and her problems or wishes aren't your problem, you can't wish for profits.Walk away.

So now that I know what the problem is, I have to figure out how to solve it.The pipe is not going to last too long.

If anything becomes some type of difficulty instead of solving and overcoming that difficulty they look for ways around it, they avoid it and deny the issue applies to them.Being uneducated and uniformed puts people in a position of not having the knowledge to solve a problem, what makes the difference between a professional person and the layman is education and a greater awareness of a subject.

Assessors typically have only one "effective date of valuation" each year, or even older, that is historical, in that they trend values, and do not perform an annual revaluation (when properties are inspected and methodically calculated).
