I will definitely put granite in the kitchen and maybe tile the tubs.This is a nearby sale (with very ugly photos) with the same floorplan from last year, before the prices started really zooming up in the area.Nearby cloneHere are my numbers if anyone is interested:Purchase price: $114,000 (no closing costs or financing; acquired as a sub-to)Estimated fixes: $20,000 (I think this is pretty accurate, as we just had it inspected for the sale)Holding/selling costs: $10,000ARV: About $160KI know it's tight, but I'm new at this.

The answers above are good IF all nearby similar sized units require the tenant to pay heat.

It was only for 2 to 3 months but it gave us the time to pickout the perfect house and neightorhood.You can put your furniture in a nearby storage area.That's my two cents.

Any advice, or investors/lenders nearby interested in making this happen.

Maybe more, as a similar cash flow 9 unit occupied row house just came on the wholesale market at $220k in a near-by war zone.

There is a college near by and I think I can really use the buy and hold in that area to make better profit.

If this totally overwhelms everyone on the board then you should go find a HOA that is nearby and ask that board to help you.    

Hello everyone, There is a package of 16 Single Family Homes in a nearby area that is up for sale.

Unless there is some historical value or the building is extremely good condition AND the new property is nearby and easily accessible I would say the "play" on this is to push away from the table.On a completely separate note, when I put in the @ mark to tag you, I don't get the normal name list popping up.
