@Miller Josh - Congrats, expansion is good.You can find rental application, rental contract, tenant screening info under resources and click on REI Resources, Regarding evictions, click on your state for input.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/05/26/how-to-evict-a-tenant-2/

If the new rules are reasonable, crowdfunding could help fill some of this demand and allow for expansion and creation of small businesses.  

I didn't use wood filler for fear that it would crack and fall through the floor during expansion/contraction of the wood.

Many good deals but there isn't a product from a lender or the investor may lack one thing and cant find a JV.I've been studying crowd funding and looking at lenders like Groundfloor, Do Hard Money, Peer Street and came up with a concept of a Closed Membership/Sponsor Fund.It would be limited to 100 investors (initially and the members would vote on any expansion and the terms of membership)Members would have a contribution of $2,500.00 payable in 2 increments of $1,000.00 and $1,500.00 when a minimum threshold is met by investments from the Accredited Investors.This would be a Reg D 506(C)There would be a Board of Directors (4 AI's, 4 Members, 4 appointed) to provide oversight.There would be 3rd party compliance and a trustee.Staff would be a CFO, Underwriter,  Transaction Coordinator, Accounting, Processors and Events/marketing plus admin.Only the members could borrow from the funds.

The answer is up to you, but here are some things to think about: If you can remedy the issues and get it rented, it will be a solid investment long term with great long term potential - expansion and will no longer be RSO in whole at least.

Also the expansive soils May later after the rain but the foundation won’t self correct.

Getting a house to look like a post card is expansive, and if i do that -i rather sell at the premium.

I base this on political climate and projected industry expansion/contraction.

Anderson area is seeing growth from the expansion of the Magnolia area.

It is fascinating to see MGH, founded in 1811, unveil it's 1,000,000 Sq Ft expansion plan that will expand inpatient and specialty care capacity for decades to come.
