Should I just buck up and get the debt down, or back out of this thing, sell that house and move on to profitable deals?

I could probably turn this now as it sits and make a few bucks but since the appraiser missed the damage I'm going to push it a bit and go for a lower appraisal.

I played online poker for a living for the last 5-6 years and have about $100k I could tap into (its not very liquid, i'd have to sell my property overseas) if I see potential in this for me.I'm most likely going to be a mature student pursuing an engineering degree, thus no real income...and to boot I don't have any credit history due to never having anything on my name even after being naturalized.I'm not expecting to jump into REI right away and having banks approve me for a loan with no experience, credit or income lol but i'd appreciate any thought on my best way of getting there.My current plans are to read as much as I can on this forum while getting myself an entry level credit card to build my credit score.

I even put these in my rentals. 130 yr old windows suck and if you are going to spend more than a few bucks on them and they are not part of the character I would get new ones.From the pictures the place looks like a total gut.

I wonder if they are small amounts like 20-50 bucks if they can just be given to one another as a check..

you can pay 10 bucks a sign at a local hardware store, or you can go online, pay in bulk, and get a great deal..i just bought 50 blank signs yesterday for 70 bucks online...but yes, i love putting for rent signs in the area to attract someone who is aleady familiar with the area, and usually the property as well

You can find a ton of info about that here at BP or you could invest a few bucks to buy a course from a Guru.

Maybe find someone to help you for a few bucks an hour to help with cleaning and the fresh coat of paint, if suitable.Then flip the house as-is.

They were not accelerated to maturity.

yep, i think you need to see what's going on for yourself...at minimum, maybe you can pay a BP member in the area 50 bucks to check in...or go to craigslist, find an agent/property manager, and pay them the 50 bucks...
