So I told my wife we have to finish it we are to far into it to stop and it would make no sense to have this space just going to waste.

Many of them were under $300 for the pair, some even well under that.In one of the three houses I will be putting up for sale soon, I was thinking of putting in a "laundry room" in the basement, just because its an old brick basement that even when its all cleaned out, still doesn't look like anywhere you'd want to spend ANY time at all, even just to load and unload your laundry.

As everyone said, no need to waste money and time on eviction at this time.

I should easily be able to do the painting myself in a month and save $1800.I hate painting but hate wasting money more.

Thanks Ann, I spend a lot of time on here and have read a load of interesting information.

I have come to the conclusion that this is a waste of time searching for deals on the open market, and that before you get into the multifamily business, you need to get educated to become credible, start a relationship building business with the players in the area, and a start a marketing business that directly reaches out to the owners of these properties - to break bread with them and share your goals.  

When I had agents that I trained up they would waste a lot of my time which Is why I got rid of them.When you get busy your time becomes worth a lot of money.

You can waste a lot of time and effort looking at "deals" on the MLS and finding they are usually NOT, or you're way too late...

I did and I realized that in my area (Boston, MA), bandit signs and yellow letters are a waste of time.
