I understand it would be more convenient for the seller... if you have commercial property in this style or situation, is it something you would consider in order to make the sale quicker?

@Walter Ciucevich I like your style although I’m sure it wouldn’t work for many.

Adjust your life style and start saving.

Moving the rear door over would have helped tremendously but it's not an option with the budget as the exterior has a very dated stucco style and we wouldn't be able to match color/texture and keep it in budget.So I'm looking for ways to define the open space directly opposite the kitchen.

I have been debating the "first piece" of information to introduce her to and have yet to make a decisionI don't want it to backfire on me and have her get overwhelmed and stressed out about the whole thing so I believe it is crucial that first piece of learning material is a perfect fit for her style and mindsetIf anyone else has suggestions please adviseThank you to allRyan J

Well, it would be good time to get DEMO quotes and see if the city will give you a demo permit to do it yourself (they may want to test for lead.asbestos but even there you could just subcontract that part) and do the rest yourself if you have access to equipment and disposal facilityAS for what to do with this land, it seems you can put 8 units on it cottage style?

The property sounds like a Cape Cod style adding a bedroom upstairs and installing a heat source will definitely up the value and rental rate but is it worth the cost, a good manager will be able to advise you of that too as they are licensed in real estate and can give you an opinion of value.

The $35k my mentor bought bc it for a great deal, but it doesn't fit his criteria so he asked me if I want it and he would sell it to me for cost, because he wants to get into another deal; and it fits my investment style. 

I am hoping you are correct.I read another post from someone who has the ultimate fixer-upper as a tenant. in addition to that, this one wants everything HER color, and HER style.
