Back in January of 2015 I left my job to take care of my dad.

Tomorrow the final coat will be applied, and by the day after the handyman and I will be able to walk on it and start doing finishing jobs like fans, lighting, quarter rounds, and blinds.We also have a tenant lined up with the lease due to be signed this Friday, at the hoped-for rate of $650/mo.  

That seems to be where a ton of retirees and young demographic are moving too which is fueling big gains in population growth and job diversity.I still have clients in cold belt states.

(Seller needs the equity out asap, so seller-financing is out)As for the deal itself:       Located a few towns over from me (but not far enough where management would be a hassle), right near the better part of the borough, near the middle school, very close to stores & very close to where new construction is being planned & the area is on an upswing.2 - 2 bedrooms (1150-1200/each)4 - 1 bedrooms (850-900/each)Going inside it this week, but from my walks around the outside, I'm ballparking about 100k in renoSeller asking for 200kTaxes as-is about 6500Seller states all zoning approvals & site-planning have been completed, only thing left to do is pull permits and put nails to woodAs of right now, my immediate plan would be to sit down w/ the commercial people at my lender's, assess my standing, and start all the other due diligence common with a typical, residential purchase.

I am 27 with a stable job, but being newly out of college I don't want to take on too much risk.

Most contractors I've called are either not equipped to do the retrofit, or are too big to want to deal with a small job.  

The work looks good, but as they were completing the job we were right at closing. 

It's a job, that you always have to work at.

I am going to get my real estate license since I can get sponsored by my job.
