These questions all play into my personal decision on whether to hold or sell a profitable investment property. 

You need to play hardball if you really want this property vacant.

The bigger issue for me is the home is almost 100 years old and it isn't in the best of areas for 95k and its definitely not an appreciation play.. but based on ROI I think its still a strong move for the LT hold.. any advice is appreciated!

Hey @Luke Trovinger,Appreciate the response, I will definitely take a look at those and play around with them to see what may work for my market.And good to know for the closing/holding costs, i will try to make some calls around my market find more info on that!

Hi, Yap....roofers are the ones that typically deal with installing skylights.Pay close attention to where the leak is coming from, is it from the Skylight itself or the housing (and thus flushing comes into play) that the skylight sits on?

From what I can gather so far,  I don't it plays an important role, but just wanted to check with the larger community.

This is a long term play.

Screw the stocks, thats the safer AND more profitable play.

I’m doing one right now and will get 245k cash back to play with.

The Bigger Pockets calculator is a great tool for basic underwriting and to play around with the numbers to see how they impact these metrics.The VA loan is a great example of how your cost of capital can make or break a deal, which should give you a competitive advantage to make a deal work that others cannot.Good luck!
