The garage is currently accessed from the alley (where the garage door sits) as well as a separate door from the yard.It seems that in the future there could also be room to add a 2nd property on the double lot, but seeing that would involve a whole new structure + utilities, would not be as cost efficient, as this area isn't one I would expect a lot of appreciation in.Thanks!

But inside....totally redone, stud walls and sheetrock, super insulated, efficient windows and doors. granite tops, custom cherry cabinets, large Jacuzzi, walk in shower, pitched roof and beams...projection TV and stone fireplace, very cool space for him.

You need to nail it down, look at the tax angles, hopeful appreciation, if you buy crappy properties today and you don't improve them, you'll have nothing more than a job, IMO.

If my original exit strategy was resale, I probably did a lot of improvements and "over-improved" the property as a rental.

Steven is correct IF the utilities and Insurance are tied to your Capital Improvements.

A Credit Improvement FICO coach can access credit and put a plan together to raise FICO scores.Larry, are you doing a Lease Option Assignment?

Even if I had construction skills/experience, I personally believe that being involved in the construction side of things is a waste of my time and money.The best and highest use of my time as a business owner is to grow, scale and make my business more efficient.

I suppose prices have gone a little higher too.If you do wholesale and get some money, for the next purchase, I would recommend you look for a duplex, where the risk is split and your stream of income may improve as well.Other options to look at is places outside of where you live.

Is there a list of Professional Trustees that I can get.Instead of trying to find Trustee of an estate, it seems to more efficient if I work backward.

We tried to sell that one ourselves for months, no takers, but then listed it with an agent and sold it in a week at a higher price (although slightly less net), buyers from out of state that used to live on a major highway so they thought it was an improvement.
