As for the rugs I would simply explain that they were already done and if they want it done again it will be at their expense.

You never want to attempt to do an eviction, especially your 1st eviction without an attorney.

Thanks in advance Hi Joaquin,1) If you argue on the basis of price per square foot, any appraiser will simply be politely nodding.

Below is how you can buy $50 worth of stamps/envelopes/paper, 3 hours of labor, and simply get started.

I bought the property last year without knowing its history, so I attempted to have the tank pumped only to learn the septic company would either have to tear out the driveway over the tank, or charge me $50/foot to dig and hopefully find the clean-out (though it’s not guaranteed they’d find it).

@Hugh Jameson while anything is possible, it is simply  not practical to expect to get traditional financing on an auction property. yes hard money can be refinanced out. 

@Jordan MoorheadIf you are simply looking to make pretax contributions and solely invest in equities, then a big box company like Fidelity Investments or Schwab may be your best bet. 

You also need to be aware that custodians are passive in nature and simply process transactions at your direction.

If I were going to have someone else manage them B or C class (think blue collar, and maybe lower blue collar) would be fine.What I would suggest is make sure you get good enough deals where, if you decide in a year or two that this just isn't for you, you can sell the properties and not lose any money after all closing costs.As for books, honestly I find BP and simply networking with local investors more helpful. 

If homes are selling for no less than $300,000 (simply by looking at the MLS, more research is definitely needed) and rent wouldn’t exceed $2000, that’s not even close to the 1%.
