Luckily the first house is easy to rent and the income is close to covering all the expenses but I still throw a couple bucks at it every year.

A plumber over to look at something else told me i would have to run pipe (im on a slab, so concrete would have to be broken) to each unit, and install a water heater in each unit, or about 4000 bucks in my case, and the local company would check the meters.  

I was leaning more towards renting because there is some construction going on around my neighborhood that should raise properly values over the next few years so this would allow me to continue to own the home, continue to accrue equity, and make a couple hundred bucks extra a month on top of it.

The self-education you can do that would be most bang-for-buck would be understanding "ARV" for places thoroughly.

If yes, maybe you can save some money.If I'm doing math right, it looks like Home Depot typically charges 10 - 12 bucks a square foot for the measure/fab/install.  

One approach to avoiding a quiet title action is paying the prior owner a few bucks to quit claim the property to you.  

Hello BP,Looking at auctions and seeing the titles, often I can find out how much the loan was originally financed for and when it matures.

Obviously an attorney can best answer this but before i start spending the big bucks i figured i'd give BP a shot!

Remember, most have nothing to lose, many don't have cash, and they are willing to try anything to make a buck. 

I also see a lot of scammers on BP offering Florida real estate they don't have under contract, know it is illegal, but will do anything for a buck!
