@Joshua Harger  I try to get on as many buyers lists I can, mainly so I can see what’s happening in the market.

The laundry room was completely renovated3) New Community room was remodeled and installed4) New Gym room was remodeled/installed Parking Lot $18,583 1) Patch and repair 4K sqft of Asphalt all around the property Playground $30,131 1) New Playground at Villa and New safety area for old playground Plumbing improvements $44,704 1) New PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) for main line2) New Water Softener for the main line3) Major plumbing section replacements as needed.

Hypothetically, if a mix property (commercial main level and two apartments above) only has $80k left on a $350k loan and the property is worth $500kand the taxes are $12k/yrand the rents are $4k/moand the owner is your father in-lawand he wants to sell but worried about the income taxesand he doesn’t want to buy another propertyand the building needs about $50k in updating and roofand you want to help him out by taking it over with seller financingWhat terms would make sense for him without a huge tax consequence and basically still get some of that income from the buyer, us?

Those two features alone can be worth the cost of a rock star agent but yes, you can buy/sell RE without agents.

If we sell it we may get $120K I just saw a ranch that was listed for $160k which I thought was crazy high, sell in a week right down the road on a Main Street.

The property is in Maine with a 7.15% cap gains rate.

What else is possible in paving the way for future tenants and setting them up day one with these above features?

I know its not legal.. but I self insure myself in that regard. some say its recession proof and some say not.. my banker says not.. he says when economy gets tough they just won't spend 200 bucks a month to store their stuff they either up and leave it or move it somewhere else.. so that's two opinions.my units were quite unique one they were A class and two right across the street from 300 floating homes and all my tenants save a very few had house boats.. so I kind of had a captive audicance and once I got it converted to mainly all houses boats..

I would recommend getting closer to main attractions/beaches.

The main concern I have, is that the property has asbestos siding, and I have never dealt with this.
