I learned some other stuff too.

The other site that I would be looking at is meetup.com as well, they have a lot of meetups in your area that you can attend to get in front of people doing the stuff you want to be doing.  

To give you an idea of how we approach it, we assume the worst-case scenario right from the start is 9-12 months of no rent, $5,000 in legal fees, and an additional $5,000 in expenses to deal with moving their stuff, putting it in storage, and dealing with health code violations or NOV's from the city during the process. 

It’s in pretty good shape at this point, rentable.I travel a lot for work, and a friend gave me the idea to do a short term rental as a one bedroom, locking all of my stuff in the other bedroom and office - I applied today and was denied because I don’t own both sides of my HPR, even though I have written permission from the owner of the other half….

You can find cheaper options on some other stuff, but I hope this gives you some Insite as to what money can buy these days. 

Unkempt lawns, trashy or broken down vehicles, mattresses and trash on empty lots, boarded up houses, bars on windows, dealers and hookers on the corners, the lack of stores or gas stations, occupied properties are dilapidated, etc.Or when Google maps shows stuff like this:

Even if you stay on top of it, other stuff can happen.

Hey @Jonathan Baptiste, so we are a bit different than some.We have a large house that can sleep 12 comfortably and we provide a lot of stuff.

It could be fast tracked or it could take 6+ months as government stuff normally does. 

This is really good stuff.
