Many people maybe anxious to know how long it will take to clear up any pest’s infestation and this question can be answered after further evaluation.

I evaluated all different types of business models.My conclusion is that it is a very tough and time consuming business with little to no money in it.

Ultimately, you have to evaluate it based on what your goals are, how hands on you want to be, how much you want to deal with problem tenants, etc.

In the past I have used a subscription based online tool which pulls from recent MLS sales and rentals to help evaluate a deal.

My wife & I are purchasing a small piece of vacant land (~2.5 acres and hopefully closing by end of this month), and will be immediately starting to build a small log cabin that will be used as a rental property and personal "getaway" a few times per year.

Something to give me direction going forward and something to help evaluate where I am and where I came from in the future, but if I am going to go to that trouble, why not go the extra step and create something presentable for the banks.

Actually, it does fall under Federal ADA requirements...Section 8 is irrelevant.You DO have to allow them to make modifications at their own expense, and YOU need to evaluate their specific request and make a determination if YOU can "reasonably" make/afford the accommodation requested.

I have been fairly conservative on my potential sales price and remodel costs when I have been doing my evaluation.

Mike,You rail against the naive investors who do not know how to evaluate a deal.You now declare that other investors seem to be OK with lenders so you are not concerned about being shut off.Do you know Ed Garcia?

For example, if I ever used Vinyl on project it would sit there like a big fat log.
