Probably not a workable solution for a quick turnaround, but if you are there long term, see what an extra garbage can rental costs.

I’d rather get that one realistic-minded seller that’s ready to accept a workable offer.Kirky

What I guess I'd like to know, is if I were to just pick up a house/condo/townhouse that cashflows today on paper (with minimal work needed), if that is a workable strategy that would lead to better profits over time, or if the property tax fluctuations would make that an untenable position?

Make sure that is a workable number in your areas of interest and adjust accordingly if need be.

Your looking for situations where everyone gets what they want, in this example the the home owner gets to sell a distressed house fast, you make a little cash and I get a workable deal.

We have started stating in ads that we will not allow this, but that hasn't stopped some of them.If this is your real estate strategy don't be rude, let the landlord know ahead of time that this is your plan, so they don't waste time showing it, some people might be willing to do this, it isn't workable for us.

Might require her to downsize to make this strategy workable.

What price range would you consider this deal workable?

We have put offers on a few properties, and 1 we were beat out by a cash buyer, then we found one that would work really well for us, not perfect but really workable, only to have seller who was open to land contracts decided that they want 25% down.

You rented the unit to her with laundry "hook-ups", so I don't think that you should purchase a stackable for the unit, just make the hook-ups workable.
