If the property is in a not-so-hot area and you fix it up nice, it probably won't matter.

It seems to me that if they market a home for sale outside of MLS they might be getting into hot water.

There is usually supposed to be some play and freedom of movement as with hot and cold weather you will have some flex and expansion occurring.If it's front door then have some off the bottom but need weather stripping to make it air tight and too keep animals out.

My SFH rented for $1,200 tenants paying all utilities, the next door building rented for $1,495, but the owner paid heat, hot water, cold water, sewer and trash. 

Like Russell said, it IS hot!!!  

Hey all,

I'm interested in purchasing a vacation rental that I can rent out the majority of the year but use a few weeks for my own enjoyment a few weeks a year. Anyone have any suggestions for areas that have prove...

Not that this is a bad thing or a deal killer - but don't assume that an area by a prison will turn into a hot neighborhood.And most importantly @Billy Guyette is ABSOLUTELY right that in C/D properties - management company is everything.

I don't know how hot the market is in that specific area though...if people are really fighting for deals , maybe someone will go for it. 

That's like a maggot and a slug arguing over which one of them is better looking. haha,We love Ben and he is one sexy man ;)xoxo

If so then your numbers wont be nearly as sexy as they appear at the moment.
