Even if the tenant would like to negotiate some TI, you could bake it into the lease and wouldn't be out of pocket for any additional capital.

There are also hundreds of videos and books on how to invest in real estate with little or no money down.I am by no means an expert and there are plenty of people on here that have way more experience than I do, but I am not much further along then you so it is fresh in my mind what its like to buy your first investment property.

Would prefer not to hold and rent, especially on freshly rehabbed properties. 

You can bake all these numbers into your offer price (this includes depreciation and extra holding costs, 3-2-1 buy downs, etc). 

When this happens, the leach field has to either be relocated or (if there's no space to relocate) dug up and fresh dirt put in.Its also possible for the distribution lines to be clogged, such as with a lot of grease or fat.My point of all of that is the tenants may not be at fault here. 

I know this because I am usually the guy they call to liquidate the property they didn't realize was a dud as the agent they talked to was fresh out of Hondros and didn't know any better.

@Tony ZhangIf you have had 70 showings what has the fresh back been.

Hello,I'm not a newbie investor, but wanting to see if anyone has any fresh ideas outside what I've been mulling over.I am selling my old primary residence that I just moved out of recently and it is free and clear.

But as promised i wont shower the haters with more boring details like just how beautiful downtown Detroit has become or how Detroit is becoming one of the top tech cities and start up funding cities in the Midwest, or how there are more engineers in Detroit then any other city in the country or how loads and loads of people from all over the world are visiting everyday and loving it, or how AWESOME the Industrial market is or how the three big casino’s just had their best year ever or how for the first time in 50-70 years there wasn’t a population decrease or how AWESOME Dan Gilbert and Mayor Duggan are or how great the banking, healthcare, hospitality, industries are doing there or how boutique hotels are literally popping up on every other corner downtown, or tell you about the incredible rebirth of Midtown, the revitalization of Livernois, or how renters are lined up down the block waiting to rent a freshly rehabbed property or how the hotels and motels are busier then they’ve been in a decade or about the gobs and gobs of all the positive and infinite economic and Housing Market indicators that are putting big happy happy smiles on the faces of Detroit investors and those associated with REI.

How soon does the state start coming for you to pay up knowing they have a fresh catch on the line?
