Well, that's a proposal that warrants investigation!

Unless you have some requirements that would warrant Drupal (I'd skip Joomla all together), I'd vote for Wordpress.Hosting is also an "it depends" proposition.

A copy of the new tenants copy of the lease with the LL will help speed the trial also.As for the security deposit, I agree if that was returned it shows that the condition of the unit didn't warrant any repairs and he would have little recourse in court.

We here in America have problems and challenges but not of the scale that warrants or necessitates full scale financial apocalypse here in America as is so often predicted by MikeOH and others.

"If they don't allow her to have this transplant coming up right now next week, they're in effect signing her death warrant"http://cbs4.com/health/Diana.Smith.Woman.2.1623788.htmlI've been told this happens a lot more often than this isolated incident.

I would add that a 15 unit building is in that middle ground where many people don't know how to make them cashflow.They are too big to qualify as residential and too small to warrant their own on-site management staff.Therefore any lender who knows what they are doing is going to want to see that you have experience managing this type of building.Also, the thought that the owner is willing to finance most of this purchase may sound great, (please note Charles' comments), it does not relieve you of the responsibilty to conduct your due diligence... thoroughly!

From other posts, I understand that you have defined additional ways of supplementing your income if circumstances warranted it.

Thanks Rich, I would like to hold the property for a long time (great location, close to the largest employer & university), but due to the city schools we will definitely be moving (say 6-8 years, or sooner if warranted) So, when we do move we would like to keep it.

I would strongly recommend following the advice about talking to the police.I had 2 roomates arrested in AL on drug charges and they got warrant to search the unit.

To find the repairs, walk through with a good contractor, if the other numbers warrant going this far, assuming you are not a contractor and can do the estimated repairs yourself.
