http://brokeisachoice.com/2018/01/12/rental-4-or-h...I really love how you broke everything down from your analysys down to the steps you took and the thought process you went through to get to your final product.

He is broke with bad credit, so I assume they financed him somehow...

In other states like Georgia it is mostly the opposite (Real Value higher than Appraised value.)Thanks a lotsMy advice: "If it ain't broke - don't fix it"! 

Firstly, the house is sloppily painted-not a huge concern, girls are willing to accept.

One girl has credit score of 400, her supposed boyfriend has credit score of 650, 2 other adults will also be moving in with them, which is the height of our limit of 4 people per room, I don't know the other 2 credit scores yet but of course I'll screen.

You know the house is $225K, but when we put the ad in the paper, the girl heard $180K, was the asking.

Oh yeah, another law school lesson I found useful and amusing, the "Call Girl principle." 

I am a happy wife with 2 girls.

We barely broke even on that flip, mostly because it ended up taking more than 6 months than originally planned. 

I also broke it down for myself that if I do 10 a day five days a week it would take me about 9 weeks. (50 posts per week, another 450 posts would be 9 weeks...)
