See CL for the local area, compare local rents, this is very local.Sorry if that comes off as harsh, but don't bother with all of these things if you don't know whether it is a good deal or not.

Is there anything else I need to do about the roaches (other than a chemical barrier), or will resolving the moisture issue keep them out?

It's easier to sell people on a DREAM than the harsh reality of setting and achieving goals.They do this by selling the idea of QUICK CASH for very little to no money or effort.Appeals to people's greed to be lazy.In my 20's I was searching for that quick hit to make life easy for doing nothing.

However, if they are for more than 6 months, they are so highly regulated and the penalties for non-compliance are so harsh, a seller would have to be less than informed to write one for any property that the purchaser intends to occupy.

I am a Process Operator at a local Chemical Plant.

Sorry for the harshness there.

Sorry if this is harsh, just don't want to see you / hear you lose your ***.

I'm now working as a chemical engineer in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.While I enjoy my job, the idea of being my own boss has always appealed to me.

The only real alternative is to try to find OPM to give you private funding for the property but the interest is going to be harsh compare to what you're holding now.

If periodic returns during that time were more consistently less than 0.87% the return is going to be eroded and then I could see RDL being a harsh blow on the redemption.
