If you do have the bugs and go ahead with treatment, then you bring back the dog afterwards, and make sure the bugs are gone.Realistically, unless you have such a certificate, you can't really prove that the bugs were not there when the tenants moved in and so, for all intents and purposes, you are stuck dealing with it and footing the bill (unless the tenants volunteer to split).  

Still compared to New York City and the 2500 to 10000 a square foot they charge - Vegas is still a bargain.  

But I am looking in the north Jackson Mississippi area now because I live here, and rental rates are about $1 sq foot on single family houses.

But, do this I need to get my foot in the door.

I got my foot in the door of real estate as an appraiser back in 2004 and became licensed in 2012.  

So I've recently found a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom 2000sq foot house for $15,000 in a good rental market.

As someone who is looking to get small passive gains and just dip my foot in, it doesnt seem like a bad option though.Would love to hear concerns, feedback or things i may be not thinking about.  

Built: 1910 2-Family Lot size – 40FT x 100 FT Building size – 20FT x 58FT Back Taxes:  $7,748.79   Annual Taxes: $4,904Market Value: $1,175,000 (based on property tax assessment, building is uninhabitable so this is not accurate)Department of Buildings: Violation – unsafe building issued 2010My Half Baked Plan- I'm no where near acting on any of this so if I'm completely off base keep in mind i'm learning and would like your input.OFFER- 100K cash (no inspection i will assume back taxes)REHAB- 200-300K  - Without ever stepping foot inside, I'm assuming that we would need to go to the studs, new plumbing, electric, roof, mid-range finishes. 

I'm wondering what is the going rate per square foot for this type of lease.

Zachary just pay a real estate attorney to help.Most broker/agents wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole.
