I extend my services to them and offer to find them the perfect space and run through the tenant representation process.

@Tanzie Staley Welcome.Basically:What's it worth in Perfect condition?

@Steve Smithy if you decide to sell your Pittsburgh property I too would be interested as that is my area as well, particularly Multis.That said if you decide to hold PM me and I can send you my PRop mgr. they have been decent though not perfect.

Now the land I already own, I spent 2500 on the mobile that will have to be rehabbed (3500 to 4000) and moved (1450) and septic tank placed (2300).

In my head, the perfect option would be to find a mentor who I could work for and teach me but no such opportunity has become apparent yet.

The intention was never for it to be a rental, but then the market tanked and you get the rest.

@Aaron Montague Nice links, another really good source of information on 203K loans ishttp://203kcontractors.com/faqs#min_max_repair_amountWe are currently pre-approved for the 203K Loan, going with the Standard/Full Loan Package, just hunting the perfect deal.

(so if any of you RE investors wish to have a vacation home in PR now is the perfect time).

Now, there were two PERFECT comps, two houses sold on the same street, one almost across the street, one the same sq footage, one slightly SMALLER, sold within the last few months.

I enjoy 'networking' both professionally and personally as I learned long ago that the leverage achieved through a think tank of like minded, forward thinking entrepreneurs and professionals can never be fully understood - and should never be underrated.
