I would have installed a new piece of plywood and vinyled it over at the sink base in the time it took to ask the question. 

The owner called after getting a piece of my mail.

Figuring out what your investment properties sell for and rent for in a particular area is the most important piece.

The old owner just had wood covered with a piece of plastic.

Literally itemize a budget and imagine picking out every piece of a rehab (kitchen, bath, hvac, plumbing, roofing, etc.). gives you a good understanding of what things may cost.

I would basically let them rent out my beautiful piece of property and my home.I am looking for a partnerIf you know of anybody that is interested

We don't know the value of your piece of the company or your house so we wouldnt know if the guarantee they are asking for is a big ask relative to the value of your house or just a token value to show you have skin in the game and cant just walk away.

Very prescient in my opinion.Both of us are only willing to invest a max $10k a piece (total $20k) on any one deal.

Wow, a thread with 3 consecutive distinct users from Sioux Falls, SD!

Doesn't look like the formax has any safe guards against mismatching pieces with variable data?
