I'm sure this doesn't typically happen but the guy walked through, said everything looked good and charged us $350 to write a letter to the inspector saying he certifies the concealed work. 

In Dallas, my office has covered reserved spots (mostly empty), other offices can't charge enough for low garage reserved spots.

However, the account fees, transaction fees, asset registration, check fees (some custodians even charge for both incoming and outgoing), etc. form a good chunk of money eating away potential profit. 

Would like to know the approximate fees attorneys charge to file the Sce 22-5 Notice and then the cost to obtain order for tax deed.  

They charge in the area of 35%, which is expensive, but you're really paying for the convenience when you're not in the area to manage it.

I would bet the MLS has good deals you just need to spend more time searching and act quickly. 

I know for my beach STRs we charge much more in the summer than the winter.

There's a vacant lot down the street from me that has sat for decades and I'll bet the owner just passes it down to their kids. 

  ( I dont mind renting out units, I rented my home that I owned out during college to pay my tuition.)The question is, would I be better suited selling the townhome at 160,000 to pay for the new property and have cash left over for construction and renovation OR  do I take out on the townhouse, hold it and charge around $1500 a month for rent and use that income to pay off both.as far as 1031 I could do that, you mean selling and using the funds to defer all gains on taxes?

So if you’re using 80% of the cards limit it’s bad, and you can either pay it down, or you can see if they’ll raise your limit (which so long as you haven’t been in default is often in their interest - they want you to charge as much as possible so long as you remain able to prove you can pay it back)
