Bro as long as you do your analysis and understand your Cashflow there’s a 98% chance you’ll be just fine.

"Everyone deserves a second chance..."

I suppose if you want to take a chance on some kind of slander/libel suit.

I just don’t want to take the chance of it messing up and having to sit with those major costs.

With more and more people WFH now and the trend set to continue I think cities stand a good chance of becoming exclusively young, hipster, student centers rather than real prospects for people to live and work long term.

Did the property manager charge for overseeing the cosmetic rehab by chance? 

The reporting location doesn't chance if active or passive rental income- still E.

If for some reason you are able to find something that yields a 30% CoC return, then you have a chance of increasing your cash flow by 50%.As you can see, the growth in appreciation get's consideration in the calculation of your opportunity cost (investment base) of selling the property.

E) Was introduced to some contractors via the propety mgmt company While the sale price was $88 K - the place needed min $25 K worth of work - so before any chance to even get it rented I would be over $40 K in the hole - with a rent closer to $1100 - glad I passed this one up and much more inclined to find a higher priced property that is a little more then key ready.

This deal was a little magical - I was outbid in this auction (see section below) and only managed to procure this property by chance.
