First, it took over a month to activate/set up the cigarette smoke detection.

I'd like to explore card operated laundry to provide that as an option for tenants, to offset the cost of running the washer and dryer while I pay for utilities. 

We thought about doing a cash out refinance which would give us roughly 40,000 after closing costs.

This of course can prove to be a costly process!

It is not a community property state, so you can set up an LLC with yourself as the sole member, but need to make sure in a will, the property clearly passes to your children should something happen to you.  

So, acquiring the property for a $2,100 cost with potential earnings of $2,900 is acceptable in your evaluation, provided there is sufficient financial backing to cushion any potential setbacks.Thank you, Frank! 

Also, I know that by law real estate agents have to disclose if things on a property are unpermitted to allow the potential buyers a chance to back out of the purchase if it's too costly & the real estate agent who sold my friend this property didn't say anything about any of the 3 out buildings that are on the property.

As for cost, my nuclear-powered Duke Energy NC Residential Service (RES) costs $0.11661 per kWh.

From a cost perspective imo it's most cost efficient to find somebody with a lot of evection experience in your area.You might try Stelnick Law in Valencia .
