@Benjamin CarverThat was an OUTSTANDING post.

So, as some of you may know, I managed to win my eviction hearing and the judge ordered the tenant to pay.Has anyone tried to collect on these judgements?  I called some collection agencies and they basically admitted...

My guess solely looking at your numbers is that it's an older/distressed property which means you have to account for more costs in capex. 2nd thought being it's not in the best of neighborhood then you'd have to take into consideration lower quality tenants/ neighbors and maybe increase expected vacancy and late payments.

Did you have an appraisal done at the date of death when you inherited it?

I included a link below to your state's association with all the requirement info.Keep in mind that getting into Real Estate is not a cheap adventure. 

That is I think it is more aligned with the fact that above average (in price) houses don't make good rentals--so these folks primary hold houses which are below the average price in the areas they operate.What do y'all think?

Basically you can't have the yard be higher than 6 inches below the window sill (otherwise it would v difficult for people to exit out of this window in case of an emergency). 

The footings support an addition.
