HI, I own a part share of a nice recently renovated house in North London, with other members of my family owning the rest, left to me in my fathers estate, with probate granted in 1999, as a tenant in common.

*Note* In NJ I will qualify for grants up to 22k to contribute at closing- In PA it would be closer to 10k (Money leaves my pocket at closing)I’m open to all ideas and advice as I’m going to get started this year, sooner rather than later.

(Granted, I am not factoring in various fees that may be saved by financing at acquisition).

No need to go through all that work, expense and permits for gas (unless the utility or state is offering a grant). 

There are auctions, city grants, and financing programs designed to help people revitalize neighborhoods.

I came here looking for the same thing; the one that Grant Liddle posted is fantastic.

Granted, I am a part-time flipper, but most houses I see the pricing does not make sense for what I have to pay for labor.  

Now granted if your experienced and paying cash and know your market.. that's one thing.. but the answer to the original question is   IT DEPENDS  LOL..  

Short term rental permits are only granted to owners who will be renting their primary residence.

Granted there is a cost in hiring an agent, Having someone analyze each deal with localized knowledge is worth its weight in gold.
