I have removed many hives from homes, out-buildings, between floors, etc. 

If the inexperienced investor knew how much work, effort, time, analysis, negotiation, organization, capital, and knowledge it takes to successfully find, identify, evaluate, and close on a property that fits the criteria that gurus falsely claim they see 100’s of every day, 99% of them would abandon their real estate dreams” and pursue ostrich farms, mink breeding, or setting up a “down line” to sell condensed cleaning products that their “upline” has an exclusive distributorship on for the southwestern quadrant of Bisbee, Arizona.  

Stripped to the studs, new electrical, new plumbing, restored original wood floors, and brought a 1946 gem back to its original form!

Two giant humps have grown up in the floors from the water damage.Some parts of the subfloor are at 55%+ water saturation.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

[I’m assuming I would be dealing with basics (communication, marketing etc.) as well as maintenance and cleaning.]Thanks again! 

A two-story, eight-unit apartment building with four units on each floor, each offering two bedrooms and one bath.

Had a conversation last night with a guy who wants to buy a 3rd floor condo and says it would be fine if the 1st and 2ne floor get washed out.

I allow pets with a pet fee and have a cleaning fee, tenants change out every 3-6 months on my MTR usually. 

Sure when it is clean a dark color looks much better however it also shows dust and dog hair a lot more.
