Hello, before I give my story, my wife and I are looking for a 1-2 bedroom apartment we have a monthly budget of 1750, we both have poor credit, my wife Ariana, Graduated from Brown University last year, she will be 48 in May this year and is currently an Operations Manager II at kent hospital through Sodexo, she makes 75k a year, and approximately 4500 after taxes a month, she has no criminal history, as to our poor credit, we had to choose between paying our rent and electricity during covid, or pay our credit cards, we have never missed a rent payment, and have lived in the same residence for the last 4 years with no issues, we are looking for an apartment because our landlord wants to renovate his building. with that said...I am writing to proactively disclose information that may appear on a background check.In 2009, I was involved in an incident that resulted in a felony charge.

I am replacing a roof, replacing a 2 ton HVAC and the electrical panel.  

@Matan ParetInvesting takes time, energy, and money.

It takes a tremendous amount of force and energy to move the train but once its started its on auto pilot (metaphorically).

It's time to part ways with that negative energy and surround yourself with like minded folks!

Landfills and those enormous overhead electrical wire distribution towers both carry risks in many people's minds.

Do I understand correctly that we cannot turn the electricity and water off, despite that it is under the owner name, not under tenant?

Looks for developing areas and where you can build wealth to meet your goals, energy, and capital. 

It's worth around $450k & I'm not sure how long it'll take to sell in the current market.Our immediate family (my wife, her dad, out daughter & I) are very handy and have experience in construction, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc, so we are anticipating being the general contractor and subbing out only those things we cannot do ourselves.We have several STRs, but no motels. 

Also worth taking a look at cities and metros in person, although the flight and hotel/air bnb can add up, you can generally write those costs off, and in general getting on the ground and feeling the energy of a city or market can tell you a lot about the intangibles there.
