Property is a 2800 sq foot 3 bed 2 bath listed for 179,900 located in a "C" area.

Thus if I say a 10 x 20 “Foot, not meter” unit is $120, then yours would be around $40.

I'd prefer to start off on the right foot and not make a change later down the road. 

Exterior paint: $1 to $2 per square foot Interior paint prep: $0 to $500 Interior paint: $1 to $3 per square foot Interior detailing: $500 to $1,000 Window replacement: $400 per window Flooring installation: $1 to $3 per square foot Appliance order/installation: $1,000 per set for base level, but can become tens of thousands for higher end models.

Otherwise you have two blind sides.We have 20/30/40 foot parking at our location at 26763 Highway 34,Glenwood, IA.

It should be able to increase rent.In my area sales price/square foot is about $35-$45 for a median priced house.

This loan will not take into account any income and as such is a riskier loan for lenders so the rates will be higher than a Bank statement loan.As with most questions with investing speak to your lender to discuss these options fully so there is no miscommunications and you can invest while putting your best foot forward.Best of Luck!

Tell her she called them she can pay them.She has no authority to call in repairs and expect you to foot the bill.

On an equal footing (both without leverage) stock returns are much much higher than RE returns, but most folks are not comfortable making stock investments with the added risk of leverage, and perhaps appropriately so.Can you obtain a 15 to 20% ROI with stocks?
