She's a little under market, but the upstairs apartment could be bumped up to around $800 - $850 / month.Purchase price, $45,000On the surface, it seems like it's going to be a crazy good cash flow deal judging from the 50% rule.

It gives you a level surface, and when I had asbestos tiles in the basement we covered with a thin layer of levelquick to keep the inspectors happy.

If you spray a few on the surface, a few may die, but the colony realizes somethings up, and moves elsewhere, damaging a new spot.

Hey brandon I really like to do business the old fashion way, when you have some time I would love to call and actually talk.

I define a 'bad experience' as NOT closing deals; from being scammed in any form or fashion, to just not managing their time well enough to close the deal. 

I have access to the MLS and Zillow,  and any internet site, but on the surface I can't seem to extract from these tools the information I need.  

So money different options out there and you have not even touched the surface.

Soft surfaces are fine for good tenants but my philosophy has always been to over-protect everything if it's going to be a rental.  

Painting brick seals the surface and leaves an environment for water to encapsulate and not be able to escape.

Sounds like a good deal (on the surface) especially in Knoxville.
