My last tenant just left and I ran into so many problems because the lease did not protect me as a landlord.

I feel your pain, I ran a conventional REIA but was kind of sick of the whole sales thing myself, even though that's how we made our operating budget.It takes a lot of work to find a venue willing to give you free space, that is located appropriately, and that is large enough.

I ran comps in the neighborhood and on the low end, this house renovated will catch $385, on the high end, $410k.

I ran some comparables and I think conservatively I might be able to sell it at $170k without any repairs, and $180-$190+ with some bathroom remodels and minor cosmetic repairs.

That's the same thing as Iran, gotta recognize this is America, you must allow others to enjoy thier freedom just as you do.Ryan has spent his whole political carrier trying to invoke limitations to, and eliminate, abortion FOR ANY REASON.

Remember the taxes/insurance are probably understated.Based on the numbers I ran in my head accounting for vacancy, repairs, reasonable PITI, etc. it looks like you wouldn't be cashflowing too much on this property that is almost 40 years old.The seller would have to come down a very large amount for this to be a good deal.

A year ago I ran this ad in Craigslist and the phone rang off the hook.

When I ran the check, an eviction came up in another state.

Every time I hear about a question like this I think about cultures of people.
