Hello Fellow BP members,Just wanted to give a shout out and hello. My name is Justin and I have been learning about investing in real-estate for just about 1/2 a year now. BP has been my go to site for learning and in...

It is a very temping deal.

I will leave you with this - Temp buy-downs work in EVERY CASE, unless you need the cash for other reasons.You can refinance at 95% or 96.5% LTV. 

Maybe some pallets and temp walkways and put a washer/dryer down there if the space allows.Cheapsest immediate fix would be to diagnose, say you are going to change it, offer an appropriate discount for the loss of whatever amenity it is and with new lease just use as storage or as above

Even with leaving school i still had a hard time finding work, even being forced to work in the Industrial Field having to go through Temp Services after Temp Services warehouse after warehouse so the Real Estate stuff was on the back burner for me for a little bit simply because my market my Network is so small and it was hard for me to find anybody to join me in doing what i wanted to do.

For a college town, we were expecting much better results comparing it to a city like Tempe ( where Arizona State University is located and all my AZ investment properties have pulled minimum 8% annual cash on cash returns).Now do not let this discourage you, just try and find some nice opportunities that you can have "instant equiy" after adding some value/ remodeling.

.. my investing partner has informed me that i am not allowed to hire any laborers on our flip house .. even for yard clean up .. the property we purchased is a horder house and although the seller is supposed to have it cleaned out but close this week .. i can not see that happening .. i planned on hiring a few laborers to help me with the clean out and any work that i tackled to save costs and increase profits ..but now i think my only option is to go to a day labor temp agency .. im pretty sure they cover WC .. what does everyone else do .. ?

I lived in Tempe and Chandler many years ago.

These areas are very close to GCC(Gateway Community College) and ASU's main Tempe campus.Hope that helps!
