I have a few concerns/fears (my inspection period expires on Friday so I need to make a decisions ASAP) 1) The street, 13th Ave is a cross street that people cut thru.

When I run a scenario, I want to see IRR simply from me having a long term target I want to hit.

Or keep looking for private owners to try to cut the deal that way?

I can cut back on work and go to school, or get my own place.

Cash buyer's list has grown beyond my primitive "cut-and-paste" methods. 

In future, as opportunity presents itself, we could deal with a tear down/rebuild situation, or simply sell then.

You, as the owner, have to pay for grass cutting, snow removal (if you have any), many times there is only one water meter and you need to pay for the overages.

Find a partner and bring them the deal, take a tiny cut, learn from them and actively repair your credit.

Or do you simply start pitching your deal to investors and accumulate the funds needed to purchase the property?

When I asked “why” he simply replied; “You didn’t thank me, so I took it back.”From that day forward, I was always the first of my siblings to say, “Dad, thanks for taking us to Dairy Queen, dropping us at the movie theater, taking us to football practice, and thanks for not getting angry when we were teaching our youngest brother how to drown in the bathtub.”
