Yes, you will need to spend $1,000 - $3,000. 

Criminals know it, because they spend enough time in prison to know it.

Obviously you will spend a lot more time managing the project and coordinating each contractor, materials, deliveries, etc.

That way you dont accidentally spend your mortgage payment. 3.

I understand that it would be a serious undertaking with rezoning, permitting, etc, so I'm in need of some assistance from an investor/contractor familiar with the process in Boston.I would love to hook up with a contractor that's willing to take on the job and work through the process with me. 

This specific deal was an older gentleman who retired there in his 60s and was the original owner now in his 90s, and moved to an assisted living facility. 

@Eli M.There are quite a few non-profits in Philadelphia that assist low-income (or other specific classes) population with first moth rent + downpayment.
