A 2 BR or 3 BR townhouse condo in the same complex easily costs 3x - 5x as much to rehab if it has been neglected since the 1960s, while only drawing 1.5 - 1.8 the rent.The purchase price for the latest unit is $18,000, and closing costs including reimbursement of pre-paid property taxes will bring the total to $18,700.

Ga mountains yesterday, doing a little pre-leaf change ride on the bike.

I “thought” they would come back and get the second in the next few days.Unfortunately four weeks went by and despite certified letters and phone calls to the previous owners from the realtor, it was never removed.Ultimately I paid a guy $275 to make it disappear.Obviously, I have not been happy having to deal with this problem for the last month and the fact that I had to pay for its removal is maddening.Especially since I feel that both realty companies, the previous owner and the contractor all walked away with my money and I was left holding this bag.In the future I will not make this mistake.But, my question to BP is whom should I attempt to get reimbursed?

I put 25% down, paid closing cost, rehab and carrying cost.

Example 2:On my most recent rehab- I made the seller two offers: one at 21k and the other purchase at 25k if he was willing to hold mortgage and wait 6-9 months to get paid.

I have worked with investors out of state and overseas and always make sure I get pictures and video if needed, I have also done repairs myself and paid for them so know what things cost and know what should be charged to do the repairs.
