Just not sure if I have the time or experience to tackle all of the maintenance and juggling of 2 renters.

That was after a complete remodel (all new carpet, paint, etc.) and two boxes of the bug bombs.If you don't spend the time/money up front to tackle the problem it will keep coming back and will cost you a lot more in the long run (multiple extra treatments, tenant loss, vacancy, possible lawsuit, etc.).

If they do not vacate by March 1st then you are given that money and move forward with eviction - or pay them to move, or however you want to tackle it.Just another strategy that you might want to explore..

I really like that the show is tackling higher-level issues now.After the podcast I got excited about tax in Colorado and did some research - the going rate is 10% on liens, and they're being bid down to 9-9.5%.

I guess what I would like to know is...what's the best way to tackle this and maximize borrowing power.

As a newbie I probably wouldn't have tackled this project.As is, you are looking at about a 5.5 cap rate. 

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Tarrin Lilly from Baltimore MD, looking forward to tackling a lot of real transactions this year, I'm open for any beginner tips, hopefully I can meet a couple partners on here!!

I recommend this book by Gary Keller et alhttp://www.amazon.com/Shift-Estate-Agents-Tackle-T...Chapt 10 is creative financing.I show that book to agents, Chat 10, all about being creative with sellers and buyers, getting the deal done.

If you hire a GC they will most likely want to order materials, just know what you are paying for- also if there are certain things you want to tackle like bathroom vanities, appliances or kitchen cabinets then you can certainly order those yourself if you happen to get a better deal .When I first got started it took a lot of bidding out to find the right people.

I can tackle most home improvement projects so I'm hoping I can knock this out in a weekend.
