I agree with Andrew’s comments particularly because this is a home you personally lived in and know intimately.

Quote from @Kornelius Friske: We have a STR located in peoria AZ. it's 6 beds (garage conversion) and about 3900 sq ft in total. our energy bill last month was $450 and has been hovering in the $350-$450 range since we went live in august.

My sister and I have done all the leg work in finding where the 2 individuals lived at. 

My client's living room is completely unbalanced and odd looking because this wasn't done, which I had to hide with some fancy drapery "magic" that was expensive.

Not quite, Baltimore has been my major focus for now.I actually live around Edgewood though!

I live in the Lancaster PA area.I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

Refi the house so they can continue to live in it, they will get the best loans on their primary residence.

They have already called a real estate agent to list on the MLS and when the agent comes over to take the listing, they tell the prospective seller that the dog poop in the living room has got to go.The rot in the bathroom behind the toilet needs to be fixed.

City recently did a building inspection and we noticed the tenant is smoking in the unit (cigarettes and marijuana), food waste everywhere leading to building pest issues, and there are 5 people living there now (3 adults and 2 kids).

We purchased it with the intention of living in the Ground floor + BSMT apartment and renting the 2nd floor apartment.
