I have extensive construction experience and hope this can carry me through my first deal.  

I have a question if you can collect a whole year rent up front?  

The attachments are usually paid at closing with the understanding the releases will be filed after you get your money.As an attorney collecting debt, I have had my attachment be missed and then gone after the new mortgage company and/or their title insurance and usually been paid as my lien is superior to their mortgage.

I wont be going too extensive with paint.

But there are plenty of other ones that are reasonable turnarounds (enforce collections, get rid of Park Owned Homes, submeter water, raise rent) that I do see @ 10%.

As of 2010 if you own a multifamily unit in Philadelphia you are required to pay for your properties' trash collection. 

I understand what your saying but I would rather buy 4 properties for 30k in Detroit and collect $3000 than one for the same 30k outside of Detroit to collect $800.

Western Snohomish county and its collection of smaller cities is much younger and is tied as the fastest growing county in the state.

My grandmother is one of these people to me, she buys essential oils, and quarter collections, humidifiers and dehumidifiers cause somehow having both running is better than having neither. 

If so the insurance company will most likely handle the collections from he tenant or hopefully their renters insurance.
