@Joel Owens hit the nail on the head!

@Patricia Velez I know this may not be what you want to hear, but "Look at that no extra income statement." kind of hits the nail on the head...

Michael Seeker I guess polish inmigrants were fluent english speakers when they arrived here and didn't have any problems comunicating with a landlord while trying to find a place to live.

We have nailed guys dumping before, but this has emphasized my need to get another security camera installed along our driveway to catch good video of all the vehicles driving on and off the property so I can get license plate numbers.The camera equipment is on order and should be installed next weekend.

If its West coast were deals are like Diamonds and tough as nails to find.. then the person that found the deal deserves more.Start at 50/50 and work whats good either way..

What about waiting to the beginning of August to have a feeling of the time necessary to finish the rehab and if you think it will be ready on time then put the coming soon signs in the yard and in CraiglistThe tricky thing here is the last days is when you can see a real difference in the house, when the last touches are been doneYou are more likely to get top dollars when people see fine finishings and everything is clean and polished, but maybe receiving a little less money is better that sit and wait paying holding costsgood luck

The house needs everything: Roof, gutters, siding (asbestos shingles nailed over older cedar shingles), drainage abatement, rehabbed bath, total kitchen, replaced flooring (half), refinished flooring (other half), back steps, total landscape, HVAC (old furnace is missing), insulation (2" in attic; none elsewhere) additional electrical circuits, plumbing includes iron pipes, interior trim and paint.

Hoping to hook up with some other investors in the area, make some connections and nail down some (short-term, mid-term, long-term) real estate investing goals.

If they were nailing into asbestos siding it could be a problem as well.

You will likely be hearing from me and/or my partner once we nail down our search criteria.
