We live in a village so I can't discharge a firearm.

One is install satellite dishes.2) Training new tenants that I don't come to look at the property nor do I answer the phone.You leave a vmail, text or email me and I'll reply via text/email. 3) Dealing with a couple of crazy villages that have so much red tape and so many ridiculous rules, its no wonder the average person was so fed up with govt that they voted for a bonehead like trump.4) Collections.

Only problem was the land was under active railroad tracks, and the remainder was wetlands.Speaking of which I have seen wetlands, flood plans, land protected by easements, or some other reason that the property can nt be built on, sold at tax sale.I've seen property sold at tax sale that were toxic waste sites, including Super Fund sites.I've seen a chrome factory sold at tax sale abandoned by the company because of toxic chemicals in the ground.I've seen former gas stations, dry cleaners, auto repair garages, and other toxic sites sold at tax sale.All of the above either have ZERO VALUE or NEGATIVE VALUE, welcome to the wonderful world of Tax Sales.

Found a bank that allowed the equity to count toward the down payment, and seller conceded to small closing cost amount.After PITI property cash flows $450/month.The lot that the home sits on is in a village and had a large back yard that required mowing, weeding etc.  

I see it from a few standpoints, as contractors in the IT field, owning a auto repair shop, and having partners in my properties in the beginning.The comment about relatively minor work is something that people don't understand.

I'm not 100% sure what the rules are in each village and/or municipality, so you'll need to be sure to dig a little further in whatever neighborhood you're flipping in, but I can tell you right now, that most of the investors I work with will not touch a basement with ceiling heights below 7 feet.Regarding totaling SF up in a house to maximize your livable space, you should really refer to the tax records on Realist, as I'm almost positive that that's what the appraisers use.

Using budgets vs. actual with auto generated reports on a weekly basis and also using the phone app to log receipts into "the cloud" for the online version are just a couple examples. 

Because it's not a fixed amount that we can just send the same amount in a check (and they often failed to send us a bill), We set it up with the management company to auto debit whatever amount was every month.

Need some help from the experts here in trying to figure out how best to structure my new business venture.  I know there is a creative solution here somewhere, I just have not quite cracked it yet but I know it must ...

Hi All,I ended up purchasing a duplex in Merion Village, a small village close to downtown Columbus Ohio.
