I've been working on the last 2 weeks in building out my educational foundation in real estate, specifically on wholesaling.I don't have a buyers list yet, no marketing yet, just working on education and networking.I'm attending my first REIA meeting tomorrow night and I want to make sure that I squuuueeeze as much value out of it as possible in the short amount of time that I have.

With that said, my real estate agent in Kansas City was able to get the price way down on a short sale that had foundation problems, about 66% of their asking price.

I just simply cannot afford to buy a place to gut, and rebuilt foundation. 

I did get copy of lease and looks like landlord is responsible for taxes and insurance and structure of building but tenant is responsible for hvac, plumbing, electrical basically anything besides roof, walls and foundation.

We did paint and texture, floors, painted exterior, IKEA countertops, backsplash, dishwasher, painted cabinets, both bathrooms, foundation, and fixtures.

Has the sewage backup become so bad its rotting foundation joists and it needs major foundation repair?  

However, that is done mainly for major issues (foundation, roof, HVACs etc).

For income, I'd do this even at the cost of having to reinforce the garage walls and/or foundation;  3rd build a new 2 story multi-unit structure for yourselves behind the existing garage so as to maximize rental income from the extra unit(s).  

Get all the information you can to build your foundation and plan, then hit the gas! 

What kind of foundation are you on?
