It is not an easy thing to run a property when your customers are horrible haha.I recommend student housing with 9 or 10 months lease and run STR during the summer for this property while students are on vacation.

Can anyone refer a real estate investor friendly real estate attorney in the New Haven CT area? 

However, many times its just not practical or cost effective to put the work into it because in many cases its not easy to do.

Maybe some easy refreshing of the mortar but I would also plan on digging down for better waterproofing.Now, no way I would build a tiny little place on that lot.

Carlos I have no idea what you are referring to ? 

If only it was that easy.

I am betting 0. because anger and blame is easy.

For every #2 scenario (an easy transaction) there are probably 9 #3 scenarios when agent shows 20 houses to clients who don't end up buying anything and the agent makes $0.

Cat odor is far more problematic than a small dog, but I would check landlord references to confirm how they've maintained their last residence.

That is how I've operated for years, well before the NAR fiasco and as agents, we have always been advised from referring to status quo, standard, typical, etc when it relates to commissions.It continues to amaze me how many buyers/investors believe the agent value is finding them "deals."
