You can have something built to code but not permitted, while something that's permitted is automatically built to code.In my area, the city requires a permit for any work on a house that exceeds $500 - i.e. it's mainly there to make money for the broke municipality - including paint, tile, flooring, any concrete work, door and window replacement, you name it.

I did some analysis with 8% for maintenance and 8% for vacancy.If you choose option A and buy a property for 25k and the rent is 700, I assumed that the property taxes and insurance are 233/mo.

I would just fill it in and paint it.The only drawback will come when you go to sell this house some day.

I choose a 3rd party school because I could take classes at my speed.

I guess the topic should be 'choose'.

My uncle is a small investor in Floral City but does it just for his own income and runs his own painting business he has had since I was a kid.

Why did you choose Detroit ?

Inside just painted.

I have been reading BP and getting great info but I wanted to know in a more expensive market like Vancouver and its tri cities if its possible to flip apartments/townhouses to start creating more capital and than move on to houses.my other thought was looking at towns that are about 30min to an hour away and the price of property there is usually half of what it is in Vancouver.I am a pretty hands on kinds of guy and have done a lot of the finishings(painting, trimming, fixtures) all the way to dry walling and basic plumping and electrical work.

Or if I choose to use lease option should it beSeller --->lease option to me(which I want to purchase later and continue to rent)--->sub-lease to tenantLet me know if that clears it up.
