If you are adding in rehab items like flooring or carpeting, maybe fixtures, etc. then maybe $5-10 per square foot.For rough example if the house is 1,000 sq. ft. and you use $5 as ball park plan on spending roughly $5,000 on the updates.

Holes in the drywall, ceiling hanging down, no doors, fixtures, not to mention two bullet holes through the windows of one of the units.

Meet them for a cup of coffee as an informal interview and explain what your after.

If you haven't listened yet - be sure to head over to the BiggerPockets Blog, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy!

I would be inclined to find some piece of the construction with a date on it, breaker box or plumbing fixture and use that for the date.Start over with and new insurance company and provide a date from the get go so that it doesn't come up again.

Remove the fixtures and improvements (as far as I know this is legal as I do not have a mortgage on the house) and let it tax foreclose.

Rentometer either can't or doesn't take into account the property quality, fixtures, garages, etc...

Yeah, managing Section 8 is not my cup of tea.

I plan to complete all of the other work (mostly cosmetic - painting, changing fixtures, flooring, etc) myself.

I hope that someone who has experience can sit down with me over a cup of coffee and tell me their experiences, positives, and negatives with  real estate.
