I'm not sure if you're interested in joining, but there are a few around town that seem to be the best bets.

Totally with you on this one.... the Rust belt and northeast markets are some of the toughest on inspections.this person really needs to meet with the inspector and see what she can work out..

I am renting the two units out for a total of $3250, waiting now for the 6 month mark to cashout refi.  

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

Of course, the more details you share about the property the better, so here's a generic outline to make sure we get all the necessary info to evaluate what to expect:Property Type: (Condo, Single Family House, Multifamily Property)Total Doors:Purchase Price:Year Bought: (Buying at bottom of market obviously makes for more cashflow today)Financing: (Cash purchase, financed with percentage down, lease option, etc.)How You Found Property: (MLS, Off-market, Wholesaler, Foreclosure, REO, etc.)Property & Neighborhood Rating: (A-F, 1 to 10, neighborhood quality and condition of property)Net Cashflow Per Door:Cap Rate, CoC, Appreciation, Etc.: (Any other metrics or ROI figures you think are important to the deal)You can either answer in this format or write a paragraph or two including all the details.

I totally agree about being aggressive with the insurance company, I just wasn't sure about the strategy to take.

At this point the best bet may be to sell and hope that he just doesn’t have to come to the closing table with any money.

My business partner and I tried RE our way and although we weren’t totally failing we weren’t creating the success we wanted. 

So our total limit would be $1,359,000 to purchase up to a 4-plex.

Its totally free to attend.
