So I paid for a place to live in and then rented out part of that place.If you don't have enough money to pay for your own place plus enough to repair the other portion you're renting, then the place to start would be to work in any job that is real estate related, such as a contractor's helper or repair guy.If you us more about yourself we might be able to offer more ideas.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice, and maybe a miracle.I have been in the wedding industry for 6 years and looking for my own small paradise to offer ceremonies for the last 3.  

@Lien Vuong that’s awesome, I will definitely ask my principal broker about that to see what our company has to offer in that manner.

I have looked at the market value on the assessors website for most of the homes but am looking for advice on how to offer the owner something that is beneficial for me as well as the next investor that may hold it or fix and flip it.

@Nelson Taylor I don't have any answers to your questions - I wish I could give you one for #1 but all the good contractors I know are so busy that I'd hesitate to say any could definitely do it in that time frame.However, in case no one else responds, I wanted to offer the idea that you could also try to the state fire marshal's office.

I think this would give me great hands on property management experience and since it's so close I won't charge much if anything so it's a win-win.So here is my question: If you were the owner of this property what would you like for me to offer as far as services?

The seller is open to fixing this if I were to offer 136K, but this definitely cuts into my already small amount of cash flow.

@Shaun Futch That's quite the nice battle buddy gesture of you to offer to assume his mortgage and take it off his hands!

I also like to offer reduction in the pet fee if the tenant can provide proof of obedience training, and have staggered levels of discounts for the higher levels of obedience training (the first level isn't much, basically just getting your dog to sit).

Many cities are starting to offer "sewer insurance" that will cover the cost of replacement.
