HI Jack,Check with you city and see if they allow rooming houses (or whatever name they call them locally).In some areas they may have to have lockable bedroom doors, and in some areas they may prohibit lockable bedroom doors.There will be codes for this, as well as zoning, and the all important parking.Another concern is tenant type should match the neighborhood, and that's for your ability to keep tenants as well as the neighbors not filing endless complaints against you for everything they can think of.What I mean is if you start a halfway house for recovering derelicts in the middle of Beverly Hills the neighbors will probably cause you endless legal trouble until you close it down, and you will not have a lot of prospective tenants wanting to rent there because a cup of coffee is $18 and there are no pawn shops or liquor stores around.So even if you can do it, the question is should you do it there.just my 2 cents on this.Good Luck!

Steel is a waste because it doesn't match and tenants have a tendency to scratch and abuse it.

They get stained to match (as closely as possible) the current trim in the home, then we poly them and rehang the trim.  

I agree with the others who say if she can match your expected profits based on your current all-in project costs, sell and move on to the next.

Does it match your investment objectives? 

I need to see that their picture on facebook or linked in matches what they look like in person.

You may need to sand down the area that is buckling, or remove it and level it with plywood or leveling compound or whatever you need to do to get it to match the rest of the floor.

I have about 17k cc debt that I have been paid because I was laid off last match.

There are a few markets that are both, but most are neither.I buy flips in markets whose property profile matches my criteria for profit and entry cost.I buy holds in markets whose property profile matches my criteria for cash flow and entry cost.Notice the two items that are the same in both:1)  Entry cost2)  My money Making Friends (spelled differently in both markets...as in "Profit" and "Cash Flow")
