These are such small items to remedy.

As well, I have a small new construction condo project and having a really hard time finding funds for it.I did few flips using my own credit and conventional mortgage to finance it but there's certain limitations to these approach as well as rehab cost is not lender's concern.

Solo 401k designed for those who are self-employed or own a small business with earned income and no full time employees (investment income won't qualify).

It needs some rehab, I'd likely follow the "bombproof" philosophy.I don't want to be greedy, but I don't want to pass on a deal just because it's too good.....Experiences (good or bad) involving small apartments in C neighborhoods much appreciated!

@Keith Grady, you probably want to contact the Jefferson County redemptions department to get an update on the status.

We talked about training tenants and keeping them accountable for small repairs on things they break (generally under $150 and things that can reasonably be shown they caused to break, but generally not plumbing and electrical).

I own a few properties in the Hudson Valley, NY (Poughkeepsie, Fishkill area for those familiar - B&C areas):7-unit apartment: $500,000 equity - free & clear5-unit mixed use: $400,000 equity - 7 years left on a small mortgage held by prior ownerSingle family (my personal home): $375,000 equity - free & clearSingle family: $80k equity - 22 years left on mortgage, worth about $300kOther than my personal home, all properties are breaking even as rentals - not losing money, not making money. 

Specific interests include small apartment buildings (rather than older homes split into units) with 4-8 doors to start with. 

We just landed a 5 unit building for $110K, 4 of those units have been remodeled. a 3 BR unit needs small improvements.

I have a small local bank that I have been using for 4 years.
