Does anyone have any recommendations on up-to-date material and resources I can begin learning without having to spend hundreds of dollars on education.

I havent been in it but by the outside I would guess three to maybe four hundred feet.Is this a bad market?

You'll still be busy as heck with trim, paint, purchasing materials, installing, and literally hundreds of "little things."

I've been thinking it was a steel tower about 6 or 8 hundred feet or larger!

in my opinion, if you've had plenty of people look, and it hasn't rented, then the rent is too high...maybe give concessions, or offer a discounted rent for the first few months...other than that, your only option is to wait ..personally i'd rather reduce the rent for a few months and lose a few hundred bucks, then lose another month to vacancy, plus have the house empty and vulnerable to theft and vandalism

Next, keep someone there if you can . even if it is for a couple hundred per month, provided the home is livable.

I think it was worth the few hundred bucks for the membership.

A few hundred dollars maybe.Here in Indiana, about 70% of purchases are done with FHA financing, so turning away FHA buyers would mean turning away 70% of your prospective purchasers.

If you have to pay for peace of mind it's better than being dead.In your situation I would pay an real estate attorney a few hundred to look over the lease for a possible out.No legal advice

I have been away on a working holiday for the last two weeks.I have had some homes that only needed a few hundred dollars in repairs all the way up to 6-7 thousand dollars.
