I think next time you will not close with an attorney to save a few bucks.

I'm not entirely sure if this is accurate information and want to be well-informed before moving back as I don't want to but will if it means I'll save $30-40k.

Unless you’re going to make a lot of low ball offers or buy or sell a lot of homes for yourself (and save commissions) it may not be worth it.

I plan to hold the property for 5 years at the very least so I'm not opposed to making up-front investments that will help my return over time and of course improve my numbers to maximize a sale price when I decide to sell it.Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I have about $3,000 saved up and don’t know how to get started.

At 27, I finally have enough in savings to start investing in real estate.

A little about me:  I’m from NYC, in my mid 20s and have some money saved up that I’d like to put to work but need to know more about what to do with it.

But really, tell the seller to go get a lawyer if the property is worth saving.

Your cash flow would go to a maintenance fund, and could also be saved towards the downpayment for your next investment property.

For some unknown reason you were tested today, you saved a fellow human's life, and showed what you are made of under pressure.
