The risk, IMO  is what drugs was she doing (did she get arrested for pot or meth?)

At the end of this, it's not a matter of whether you'll have a pot to piss with, it's whether you'll have something to piss with.If you tell me I should be more constructive...you don't need constructive.

I’m new here, no selling experience or anything...but, maybe some flowers along the driveway and a potted palm or banana plant where you have the one potted plant ?

I'm very new to the investor game, so my goal with the first purchase is:A place that my partner and I would want to live in for 1-3+ yearsCap Rate of 3-4% minimumCash flow as close to $100/a door as possibleHave cash leftover to (A) start the slush fund for this property, ~$5-10k and (B) less vital: start building the pot for Property #2 within the next 2 years Note: I am semi risk-averse, not looking to over leverage right out the gateI'm looking for this first purchase to be a base hit, not a home run, as @Brandon Turner says.Property 1:DuplexPurchase Price $275,000Rental Income: $1000/unit Location: North Side of town (Northern Barton Heights), up and coming.

I could easily state that my kitchen knives and crock-pot have achieved a nearly incalculably high internal rate of return.

@Mansoor Ahmad you want to find out what the area cap rate is for your specific submarket, and use that as a bench mark.

You pay all the utilities; you need a full unit of furniture and decor; you need plates, utensils, pots and pans, glasses and cups, coffee maker, toaster and basic cooking supplies; you need linens and towels, soaps and shampoo and conditioner and blow dryers and basic bathroom supplies; you need laundry soap and supplies; and you have the cost of cleaning on the turn (usually charged to the guest but you still have to manage it).

I wish I could help but this is all I could come up with: Advertising: Appraisers/Attorneys/CPAs Bandit Signs Being Transferred Best Offer Billboards/Bus bench or stop Bird Dogs Brainstorm with Team Bring All Offers Brochures/Flyers Bulletin Boards Business Cards Car Signs - Magnetic Career attire Desperate - Must Sell Direct Mail Door Hangers Drive the Area Finder's Fee offerred Friends - Tell all you Buy!

Use the inspection to learn what needs to be done, not only what the inspector checks but everything in the place - furniture, small appliances, silverware, pots, pans, everything. 3.

Are your judges likely to give stays on evictions or drag out to a bench trial?
