Have you heard of the 1% rule of thumb, that you want to get at least 1% of market value (some would say purchase and rehab cost, which for most investors would come out to about 20% less) for rent for it to make a good rental.Time will heal wounds, though. 

I see people dig their heals in all the time and end up tripping over dollars to save pennies.

The death of a loved one takes time to heal, she probably just doesnt want to talk to anyone right now including you.Id give proper notice that id be doing work on the house at such and such date, and just plan to be there to open the door for the contractor.

And even with most it may may take a long time to heal from a poor purchase."...it is generating a 9.6% cash on cash currently with probably 100k unrealized appreciation in 10 years." 

I am hoping it heals by the time the Steelhead run starts..  

@Michelle Sadler Tou really need an attorney this, eyes ail with a related probate from 1996 also not closed?  

Pay things off, save money to buy property outright, let your credit heal, then refi out.  

It’s more healing than crying alone.8.

With nothing else to do at the hotel, I plowed through several of the books and am now motivated to fix what ails my financial life.I started building homes in 2001, and did that full-time until the market here crashed in 2008.
