I think in this case its not as bad as other instances, but am also concerned about any liability for renters learning about previous mold conditions and not having a professional team take care of the job and certify that the property is mold free.Hey @Chris Brown, we haven't ran from the mold yet.

I think is very smart that you are questioning and aren't going to force the situation, simply to invest, and risk getting yourself into a bad situation if we end up having a bad downturn.

If your goal/strategy is to build a nice nest egg for retirement and not replace your current income (not knowing where you are in life), then netting 5% while padding your future isn't that bad of a deal, especially since there are ways you might be able to increase that 5% through property and operational improvements.

I want to let everyone know that even with 3 kids (two of which are under 3) IT IS STILL POSSIBLE IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH.

So I don't have the complexity of paying of existing mortgage.Thanks,AnimeshIf it was anyone else, I'd say hold the note yourself and become the bank since it's paid off...However, since it's friends/acquaintances, and the last thing you want to do is take them to court (for note gone bad), you'd probably want to approach a RE attorney and a title company (is my guess...)Haven't dealt with it myself but I'm sure others will chime in with more specifics.

I'm very interested in real estate investing and would love to pursue it as a career at some point in the future.

The buyer plans to rehab the property to make it rent ready, it is currently in bad condition which he knows cause he is the one that boarded it up during the winter.

It's almost always bad for the Landlord and the neighbors.

I just made a career change from playing in the NFL for 3 years to being a commission-based Real Estate agent.
