I really feel such realtors are really are hard to come by and worth every penny.

the ROI is not there; too many maintenance issues; also trying to develop the second lot will cost you a pretty penny on the services- if you are loooking at this as an investment i'd really look hard at the numbers before heading down that path. 

Work as much OT as you can and put every penny of OT away in an account3.

@Armel BayotIf numbers work and you can get properties for pennies on the dollar I’d say why not.

@Jim Goebel I forgot to add that the contractor would remove any visually damaged joists (he will coat the rest with mold chemical)Also, the leak was below subfloor.  

This property sparkled like a shiny penny when we were done with it.

In some MLS's your listing broker could find that data.Sounds like with 3 other properties in the same complex for sales you have some competition so might really have to work a lot to sell the property over and before the others do.190,000 X 5% = 9,500   190,000 X 6% = 11,400Talking a potential difference of 1,900 bucksSometimes buyers are stepping over dollars to try and save pennies.

Leaky pipes have been the really old copper variety.

I found fabric coated wires.

(why you want another coat of paint on the living room...what product you want the concrete block walls in the basement painted with... what is missing in this junction box...etc.)
