Take it off the market clean it up what you can then come back price it ahead of the market.Good luck over all looks like a great job.

I would want to know for sure ahead of time what is going to happen if someone claims they paid rent in error or something of that nature.A standard credit card vendor could work if you are willing to pay the fees associated and accept the liabilities associated with that.The easiest solution (and what I do) is to offer a "rent discount" for tenants who pay using direct deposit.  

There's a lot ahead but we can do it. 

I'd much rather have my analysis prevent me from doing a deal, then charging ahead and doing the wrong deal.Edit: it looks like you are looking to pay at least $20/sqft more than the market is getting.

If it's for retirement only then maybe a self directed acct is the way to go.If you need to invest for today then obviously SD might not be what you're looking for since you will be wanting to go ahead and take the penalties today to reinvest that money into RE.As far as if you raid an acct for RE which one?

I went ahead and reached out to the BP support-- they helped me upgrade my order and now i'm being shipped the paperback copy(s)Thanks for the great content and support, J! 

Don't mention to the appaiser the age of your roof (could hurt you) ..but pretty sure they adjust for capital impovements but probably just ones propelling you ahead of the comps like a deck or storage shed.  

I am in a similar situation as you, being a newbie except I am 29 so you are a decade ahead of me!

It also turns out to be structural, so I'm going to have to put a header and column to support this across where we want to put an island.

I'm definitely looking years ahead with what I aim to accomplish via real estate.
