The bathrooms are original and do not have vents to the outdoors and this is extremely bothersome to them.

Hey guys,I am looking at getting a jump start into the flipping and the low money down aspect of real estate.

I've seen it happen too often - investors using brains are no match for home buyers using hearts.At any rate, there is no reason for you to rehab the tenant-occupied unit beyond basic liveable condition since the rent will be low.  

Lawn care is really low, you're gonna spend $35/week.

I can agree with the low number, but, not the high one, even in the Palma Ceia area where I had to Duplexes that I had to Short Sell after the 2008 Economic Collapse.

I'm not sure about up that way, but down here in the Gulfport/Biloxi area of Mississippi I've had great luck at Lowes in the 'scratch and dent' returns area for appliances.

The current owner is extremely delinquent and interested in selling the building.

That being the case, I would like to take advantage of the fact that I may be out of work for a while and be in a very low tax bracket right now.

Super low prices and high rents.  

You can check out the book on how to buy with low money down by Mr Turner on BP for more creative ways.
