So, if the unit is 10 years of age, it's not going to go over night and a seller will be hard pressed to replace one or give a credit.

@Edmund ChiangIt really depends on what is the norm in the neighbourhood.If most units in the area come with parking, you will be hard pressed to charge extra.  

I would press for a parental/older sibling co-signer if at all possible.

Charlie, I wouldn't press charges or sue anyone over something like this however I will look into it for my own edification.  

Just press @, wait a second and my name should pop up.

Weakened structural integrity, which water can eventually cause, is really the only pressing concern. 

If you're newbie and not chasing any fancy strategy, your best bet is to save your money and NOT get a mentor.At this stage of the cycle, you will be hard pressed to find good wholesaling opportunities (very few people will sell for a discount to market value).

Trying to get them to make it automatic and recurring, but since it's always been a day, or two, early I haven't pressed much, lately.

In the market I'm in (Lexington, KY), a 2/1 would be very hard pressed to bring $975 unless it was very nice inside and in a very desirable part of town.  

Property in Lakeview/Wrigleyville area, any recos would be appreciated as I have a pressing need.
