In my area it is common for landlords to pay for heat which promotes a lot of abuse with the system in that tenants keep the heat at unreasonably high temperatures and often open the windows in the dead of winter when it can be -20 out.

I'd flesh it out for you, but you seem to be able to handle the numbers part pretty well. 

So we wouldn't be losing any space by adding this extra 1/2 btr, on the contrary, it's pretty much a "dead space" and the tenants sleeping upstairs wouldn't need to go downstairs in the middle of the night or every morning - definitely more convenient

This is a really slow season, schools are starting back, Aug is dead until Labor day and then a small bounce in bookings for Labor day.

Cold-calling is all but a dead-art, but the principles remain. 

but maybe it will be like Habitat for Humans  although when you look at their projects houses biult as cheap as code will allow.. so to me I guess if you put them in dead and dying areas to spruce them up that could be an improvementI live in a production home that's far from a ghetto. 

Who can have a dead snake which is smelly taken out of a garage for a house for sale while traveling.Who I can ask for team members they recommend.  

If your contract with the buyer has a drop dead date and they do not perform you can move on.You also need get get POF from your buyers and a non refundable deposit.

A month later, I sent the property is still vacant and the lawn was never watered so it is completely dead.

I would focus on getting a job and not properties.If you were dead set on it, you could use a DSCR loan as your only option if the lender will approve it based on the property rentability.
