I think what it comes down to is getting the property to be competitive in the nature of the features like I mentioned earlier.

The less you put down, the better your cash on cash.I would also look at what type of cap rate you are at and whether this property is trading near a market cap rate, since this is more operational in nature and not reliant on financing.IRR is also important, as it takes into account the time value of money, but there needs to be a capital event (sale or cash out refi) to make this equation work.

I have a similar situation where my regular person left and I had a meeting with her replacement. 

The descriptions are general in nature as there are many nuances to both. 

My failed expectation of safety is rooted in the frequent early morning visitors often get the wrong house on the first try, theoretically allowing for a dope head to walk into my house at any hour, the fact that the son is still at large and we could be raided by the State Police again at any moment, and the fact that the secluded nature of the area makes our side of the property easily surveilled by the other side - which is not optimal when my wife is home alone.My landlord is now seeking damages for the lost rent and has served me with an eviction notice. 

By nature I'm not a systematic thinker, but I know I perform at my highest and enjoy having systems and structure.

If you're not checking in on your contractor's work regularly, who is? 

I realize there are no/low money down options and I have to be the one to grab the bull by the horns (which I'm doing to some extent by regularly taking in as much real-estate related content as possible), but I'm more just curious if anyone else has ever been in a similar situation where you felt like the clock is ticking.

I sent a 60-day notice certified mail and regular mail.

Does the water need to be regularly treated?
