They did not tell me till after 3 days the door was locked and my recommendation was to call a locksmith-  I was very clear on the keys that were given and that door had none.2nd- The apartment floods- I was not notified till after 24 hours-  It took about 1.5 months from drying to demolition to reinstalling the whole kitchen.  

If you are really worried or if it is really ugly, use TSP to wash down the sheen (let it overnight to dry fully) so tomorrow morning should be good, this washes the sheen off, and you probably need to primer and coat it 2 more times.

I have enough cash to get the cabin foundation done and probably the structure "dried in".

Only have 2 more months of seed capital before I'm dry so need something good.

Make sure the basement is dry!

I will just have to make sure that they are not squeezing the place dry and ensure repairs/capital improvements are being taken care of properly. 

One of the previous owners had drilled a well at the house, but it turned up dry.

In General though so you don't think I am not a giving person.. this model plays out in virtually every major metro in the country... so go find the one you like figure it out and execute.. with the lower end rental markets.. well that's a no brianer NO one can buy all of those homes.. not even BLackstone ... but those deals are drying up as well as we know.. but there are still many markets you can buy cheapie homes.. just have to read on BP for  few hours of those that buy sub 30k homes in the rust belt and other areas.. no major secret here.But you probably missed the Duplex I GAVE away a few Christmas's ago to a BP member for a learning experience for the group here.. so I give in my own way.  

The return is lower than if you were to leverage.There is also an argument that if you needed to raise money you are locked in to a non-liquid asset and presumably the market has dried up.  

You'll love it @Mark Solomon, it's warm, dry and sunny!
