These remedies are granted by courts only if the facts of the case indicate that injustice would otherwise result.

What's your estimate for sprucing this property up to match the 300k property? 

The trim I originally wanted was too expensive and would take weeks so I settle on some cheap stuff that doesn't really match the style of home but whatever, I need to get this done.

They might contribute money to match yours and might bring valuable lending relationships. 

@Shera GregoryInteresting that a credit check required prior to showing properties has not resulted in longer vacancies.Thanks for sharing.

Anybody know of any software that can scrape things like Realtor or Zillow, as well as match fields like Property Tax, and Rental income (comparing to say Rentometer or something)?

My two cents are as follows...we were tasked by Progress Residential to source and acquire homes for their portfolio in Atlanta but initially they did not want us to manage their homes for the reason mentioned...potential conflict of interest...after about 6 months using other managers with poor results, they came to us and asked us to manage given the fact that they were so pleased with the way we professionally approached the acquisition process. 

Today we received the results.

Also, if you are not geographically limited, you can try to match up your talent/interests with an area that offers a more reasonable cost of living. $400k housing and $9k in taxes annual, plus the utility costs there, don't really make Vermont that attractive from a financial point of view (which is too bad because it's a beautiful state).

Parking your car on property that belongs to someone else (and you do not know each other) usually results in an argument at least.
