I countered at $93K, he finals at $99K and a $5K seller's credit saying any less and he's in short sale territory.It'd cost roughly $2,500 (if the numbers my agent collected are accurate) to split off the water and pin the utility to the tenants. 10% for management and another 12% for vacancy/repair reserves and I'm still looking at a 20% cash-on-cash return.You guys are pros, and I'm not.

While either can be easy or difficult to manage, differnt kinds of problems, it's the personality of the tenant, IMO.IMO you should spend no more than a couple hours a month on actual management per unit, a phone call, collection and bookkeeping and coordinating maintenance.

They are practically nationwide.

What is best practice on the timing of when investors are allowed to put their investments/return out?

However, my mom at this point, doesn't want to increase her tax burden by collecting rent.

Taxes, accounting, repairs, property management, bookkeeping, chasing insurance or property tax issues, finding reliable handymen, rent collection, bill paying, etc.

That contractor will likely be out of business with collections like that....LOLDepends on the scope of the project as to how they will be paid, some want weekly draws to pay labor, at least monthly on larger jobs.

A large amount of Ca$H today is always worth more than collecting small monthly payments over time.

It's in great condition, has been remodeled, and it's collectively rented for $2350 per month for years.

Get a judgement and try to collect on it.
