I simply vote for you to run...run to the next deal.

Based in Los Angeles since 1997, he has completed over 2.5 billion worth of transactions in Southern California and other strategic markets throughout the United States.

Steve,I would recommend completing your profile, throwing up a picture and letting the community know a bit more about yourself to add some weight to your request.Sounds like a good opportunity for someone looking to learn the ropes. 

If you negotiate a good enough deal that pays you then complete the transaction with the investor to buy the house you have under contract.

If you look at this first property as a buy-and-hold, you will have cash advanced on the line of credit that won’t be completely paid back to $0 and you will have your own cash in the property for improvements that you won’t get back out until you sell the property.2.)I’m going to throw out some possible terms, though I want you to know that everything is subject to final credit approval.Option 1) If you are wanting a line of credit secured with the autos, we will need to establish a financial covenant something to the effect of the line will need to rest at $0 for at a minimum of 10 consecutive days.

FHA 203(k) loans are not  available to investors.Rates are going to be slightly higher on renovation loans, but still very reasonable.Homestyle has a rule that the repairs cannot be more than 50% of the as-completed value of the property, so when you're working with these really low priced properties you have to make sure the numbers work.  

They do not have retirement benefits other than SS and Medicare and the way it stands right now, we will inherit debt in a house that needs a complete rehab. 

Hotel / Motel is real estate and business vs Apartment investing is simply real estate exactly what @Bob Bowling said.

The smell of cat urine, and more-so, spray is near impossible to remove once it is embedded in the subfloor ... it's even more tenacious than dog urine.We bought a property where tenants and their farm had been for 9-years ... it was a complete gut job - even the concrete slab, under the subfloor had to be treated to remove the smell.Good thing your tenant is paying over market rent as they longer the felines stay, the more it's going to cost to be rent-ready for the next tenant.
