I have started to do some ground work and have done preliminary research on KC, but still working to develop my team and would love to get your feedback.

After removing the drywall and investigating, I found that there had been a slow hidden leak for some time eroding the mortar on the interior wythe of bricks, so now they can be easily removed from the wall by hand.

I wouldn't depend on others to place an individual in my rental unit until such time that I interviewed them, And if I like them, and I have had an opportunity to investigate where they presently live and if they're able to pay the rent that I have the property up for.

They don't investigate and they certainly don't screen multiple options and hire the best one.This is not all-inclusive but here's my basic pitch.

So I treat deferred maintenance as a reason to investigate further and chase the deal, as long as the seller is reasonable. 

well they need to do some investigations and make sure i am her only child - no problem, since i know i am. 

@Daniel Schiller Thanks for the tip, I will definitely investigate this. 

It should be a no brainer to dump it, I'll investigate those avenues, thanks for the help

Some options that I'm considering and seem feasible after a bit of investigation at the city are-1-Subdivide and sell the lot (with or without entitlements)2-Create 2 new micro-lots and build 2 townhouse style homes to sell3- Subdivide and build a duplex to hold (no rent control on new construction = big plus in Oakland)4-Subdivide and build a single family home to sellThanks in advance for any ideas!

I'm not an experienced investigator but thought I'd share my frustration with the real estate market in Vegas.
