One option is to fix it up & then borrow on the equity sort of BRRR style.

I can’t say that I’m familiar with the style of foundation that you have but from my experience, concrete cracks.

For example, I've seen where a hobbyist investor/developer works on project, they hire an engineer and/or architect, but they ended up missing something vital, i.e. drainage issues, environmental, fire dept review, planning the wrong type of product for that market (buyer & renter demographic), etc.

I usually schedule an open-house style showing on a weekend, collect applications from interested parties that day so basically at the same time, and pick the most qualified applicant (the first one to apply who meets the criteria clearly listed in my ad, whose employment and references check out).

.- Yes to paint, easily the best ROI- I'm not a fan of door knobs and cabinet hardware- Making light fixtures uniform in color/style, so don't mix brushed nickel and bronze.

I tweaked all their automatic emails slightly to match my style and specific info I wanted to share with guests.

I would definitely contact a local civil engineer or environmental engineering firm. 

If it's a family style single family home or multifamily unit, unfurnished, in non-core areas, the timing doesn't really matter as most likely your tenants a re locals who can relocate at any time regardless of the season. 

)  - 60K in cash for downpayment +more for renovations- Strong local connections with contractors of all trades - Ability to get building materials at cost through family/business connections- Have a strong eye for style and design (Tends to lean on the high end of things as that is my business)  - 750+ Credit.

A few in particular are studio style.
