I have looked the place over a few times and I had my contactor look at it and now its just a matter of tying up loose ends doing my homework on the house look for liens and check the when the sewer was installed and the specifics. then talk to the current owner again and find out what he is looking for in regards to terms.

Are you willing to loose the home over $3500?

I have just bought my first property and believe i have overpaid ( i worked out my ROI using one of the calculations on the site - i cant remember the author but she invest in only turnkey properties - and i am loosing money!).

If the tile comes loose them the floor that's glued to it is shot.

You can use fancy words such as 'using leverage to enhance returns' etc. all day long, but the fact remains: if as a client I loose 50% of my premiums to commissions and fees I don't care what kind of leverage I gain as a result, it would practically be impossible to recover my losses. 

You are bound by the terms of the lease, no more. 

If you're not bound to Chattanooga, we have someone in Franklin, but I'm prohibited from posting it here.  

you are always bound to get several perspectives when you ask a good question about a situation or a property.  

The tenant doesn't want to mess up your property because she then runs the risk of loosing her voucher.

If I knock it down I will have a huge living room and a very open concept but loose som very practical space when the living room is a good size anyway.
