Don't let that scare you though, I've had clients negotiate $20k off the selling price, and I only charged them $10k for the deleading, so it can actually work in your favor for it not to have been done yet.You also cannot rent to someone with a child under 6 unless you have a lead certificate on file with the state.

Based on comp sales in the area I'm seeing between $350-$400 per square foot for a finished and redone unit, and rental rates for a 3br are very comfortably between $2300-$2600/mo.

I'd prefer my property manager bring in a new tenant, but he seems to have a firm hand so hopefully the current tenant isn't going to cause me a real headache.LINK DELETED BECAUSE IT HAD ADDRESS IN TITLE - Wish BP would let me delete the post and start over (sigh...).Details: Just under 1k sq foot, current lease is $900 a month, last year's taxes were about $64 per month.

@Mike FrancoHi Mike,Grandma should have sprung for these (as well as other child proof items) if she has wobbly little visitors.https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dreambaby-Foam-Corner-Protectors-Grey-4-Pack-L1302/206688362Good Luck!

Don't be the guy/gal that has to throw together a sloppy remodel and complains to your contractor(s) that the final figures are too much simply because you made a mistake on the front end by paying too much.That said, there is nothing wrong with purchasing buy and hold properties to get your foot into the market.

This requires good bookkeeping and the proper formation, but is not that big of a hassle once to have it established.One of the strongest strategies I have seen for this is to set up a Series LLC to hold your assets, since it can actually legally separate each property into their own "child series" within the "parent" Series LLC.

I need 3 new 10 foot long, one wall kitchens. 4 bathrooms, and a bunch of drywall work and flooring.

Between the house and the neighbors driveway is a 5.5 foot wide piece of land that was included in our survey but is not on the title.

The only exception to this would be if you are operating through a Series LLC, which allows the formation of "child" series under the main "parent" Series LLC entity - this type of structure allows you to operate multiple assets from a single bank account while still compartmentalizing liability.
