@Chris Baist You got some sound advice here from @Jonathan Greene I wouldn't try to find an investment to fit a small budget.

I am doing a job in Shaker Heights OH for which I currently have 150% of budget in escrow with the town housing dpt.I can only get the funds released once violations are rectified.

You should be able to get water trucked in for a bit, but call a few more places to see about getting a well drilled. 

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

Pennsylvania's cities, such as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, offer higher appreciation potential and lively rental markets, but the property prices are generally higher.Check out neighborhoods, compare prices, and choose based on your budget and goals.

Repairs - You will likely need to know how to budget the repairs as well.

We're aiming for a budget of around $15,000 for both the venue and catering.For those who have had weddings or attended weddings in Temecula - is this budget realistic?

If a water heater goes on your property, all your profit for the year is gone and your 15% CoC turns into 1% real quick.I wouldn't give up on house hacking because when your budget goes up, you will get strong appreciation on the asset.

However, I was weak in my negotiation and convinced myself into a bad deal. 3) If your acquiring a distressed property with tenants, overestimate your rehab budget.

Some go by the SQ FT to estimate but the age of mechanicals can swing the budget
