We live on a couple acres with plenty of room to do a bit of farming.I've got several Deere's already, I'd need a little stockpile of fuel and a nice selection of seeds and I'm in business.If the economy really goes to pieces and things start really going down hill, I'm pretty sure I could trade potatoes or corn for Gold or Silver all day long (not that I would though).Food, Water and Ammo would be King, no contest.

Silver up $2 a day, corn flirting with $8.

I initially wanted to flip a home but found that the homes I was looking at would require 15k to 20k down and another 40k to rehab, so I've turned to a kind of mixture of that idea.

Tenant shall refrain from disposing of things such as grease, bones, coffee grounds, orange peels, celery, corn husks, asparagus, egg shells, fruit pits, potato peels, or the like down the garbage disposal in kitchen.

I purchased my first duplex with a mixture of owner and bank financing, puting $12k down on a $194k duplex close to OSU campus in Columbus.

Is there an adhesive or sheetrock mixture i can use on this small spot.

I don't think I want to go with owner financing for my first deal.Conventional Financing and Property Management are lined up, but the estimate for insurance should be on the high side.Structure Details:Unit 14 - 2 bedroom 1 bath2 stories, built in the early 80s, brick and wood siding3 of 4 units currently rented month-to-monthRent ranges from $625 - $550 (tenant pays utilities)Mixture of tile/carpetSome units come with washer/dryer, but all have hookupsMetal staircase needs to be repaired or replaced $$$Roof is in bad shape, needs to be patched or replaced $$$Fascia and soffit  on 2nd story needs significant work as it is hanging with visible rotOutside AC units are a mixture of old and olderComps for nearby 4 plexes average about $165K on MLS (realtor friend pulled them)Tax Assessor Value $159,000Roof, fascia, and stair repair estimate $19,000 Unit 2 4 - 1 bedroom 1 bath 2 stories, built in the early 80s, brick and vinyl siding0 of 4 units currently rented, and seller said that he hasn't put any effort into finding tenants (red flag?)

The neighborhood around this property is a mixture of beautiful houses and trailer homes, mostly made up of working class folks who have lived in the area for generations.

I can obtain it through a mixture of rehabs/refinances/private lending/my day job etc.

And, like a piece of candy corn on Valentine’s Day, I’ve even considered gas stations.As for analyzing deals, I don’t care what kind of deal it is, as long as it reflects California taxes, permits, and labor costs.
