@Erica Osborn looking it up right now.

I am also going to try to set it up right after closing and approach him and introduce myself and my lease. since i am aware he HAS paid for April should i have him sign my lease at the beginning of May or now?

, here is how I see it and can sum it up. "Right

See it is hard to FLIP when you can buy and hold like it should be for the long haul.This is why the economy is messed up right now because everyone wants to make a FAST buck instead of a SLOW .50 Cents.

The market is f---ed up right now and it's f---ed up in a good way for buy/hold - especially in Indiana.

I have some time ...weighing the options...teaching the girls how to fix plumbing....patch holes and install carpet....some martial arts to keep boys OFF of the property....i think 5-7 years of ownership will be good & then sell?

There's still nothing funnier to me than Norton holding a lighter up right next to Ralph's thermometer to get a better look, and crying when he thinks Ralph's temperature is 111, or when Ralph hurts his back bowling and they hatch a scheme where Norton comes downstairs "sleep walking" on Ralph's signal ("Whoa, It certainly looks like rain tonight!")

Write it up right and it is only an option anyway and pocket a few more dollars, at worst you break even and have a sort of satisfied seller.

Kitchen moving, sales, and installation services are businesses here but as you can imagine, tenancy tends to be much longer here than in the states.20-30 year tenancy is not out of the ordinary and the pro-tenant laws are extremely strong here, it takes over a year to evict and often the evicted wind up right back in the same unit due to social service laws.

I'm pretty fresh to investing, I'm in the middle of my first deal right now and it was a pretty odd one at that ( a rehab on a purchase option with a plan to use the rental income from the property to pay for the property itself.The deal is finishing up right now and although I'll probably end up making very little money with it I have learned A TON and I am ready to start investing more seriously.I'm pretty strapped for startup capital due to having extremelyy low job income but I do have about 21k in mutual funds right now that I could liquidate whenever I want and probabably have about 17 after taxes.One part of me wants to liquidate it immediately and leverage it into a decent first property ( or two) but one part of me thinks that I should save this easy money until I have more experience and I'm less likely to squander it.If i do save it, it could mean waiting years until I have a career which can provide that sort of discretionary income to start with ( I just graduated college and don't have any serious long term job offers yet).
