We’re thinking about converting everything into split unit hvac since tenant pays electricity and boiler is getting old and costs a lot to maintain and run heat through four stories.

Based on the contractor the septic is beyond repair.

In need of suggestions for General Contractors, Realtors, Wholesalers, Lenders (Hard/Conventional), Attorneys (RE/Contract), and Meet Up groups in the west Georgia area. 

I also need to find a reliable contractor to work with.

I estimated gas, electricity, water, sewer, and trash to be $225/month, which could be billed to tenants while I'm house hacking.

The truth is that Everett/Malden/Somerville/Medford area is all about the appreciation play and if you're able to target the right house and do a 203K on the property and fix it using contractors (you don't have to do the work yourself - that's not your Highest and Best Use!).

I am currently looking for real estate agents, contractors and property management in the Indianapolis area.

Get a real insurance quote for a rental, not a owner-occupied home.2) Become friends with a contractor or someone you know/trust whom has taken apart a house (preferably many) that "look fine".

When I initially spoke to the seller she stated that they were upside down on the mortgage and had out about $30k into the repairs so far including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing.

Would you all recommend taking a General Contractor to a potential property and paying him for his time in exchange for him giving a good estimate of the scope of work?
