@Grant Mone I did mine while working full time. T

:I am fortunate because I have a 6.5 month timetable before I actually have to reach a level where I can make a living...Why didn't you say that earlier?  

Get prequalified so you know what to look for, then setup a timetable.

The buyer steps into the shoes of the previous owner and becomes liable for repairs and damages assessed by the housing court.As for any judgments or fines that have already been issued against the property, the city is usually amenable to working with new owners on a time table for bringing the property up to code.

@Edward Walkerr Spend lots of time on here - tons of great info - listen to the Podcasts - join the Webinars - set a timetable - analyze 3 properties a day. 

I can attest to this personally.. your best bet is to try and network with some wholesalers.3) Once you have the property, have 3 or more contractors bid the work and choose who you are comfortable with based on price and timetable.4) Make sure you have a realtor who will list property once done and who will give you comps before you buy that verify value.

@Scott Ellis Thanks so much for recommending I focus my goals and begin to build time tables!

@Jeremiah HilliardI agree with @Russell Brazil, you either need to meter and charge them based on usage, or just raise the rent.Also, remember that you can raise rents and still honor the leases of the existing tenants ... you simply have to comply with the stated notice timetable of their current lease.

However, the other 3 units aren't all on that same time table.

@Christopher Carillo Welcome.It's good to put a timetable together for Action, otherwise folks keep reading and listening and watching...
