It is a different animal than delayed financing.Delayed financing, by itself, is not ideal when the property requires any significant rehab because it forces you to put in a lot more cash out of pocket.  

Just be aware that managing for others can be a completely different animal than managing for yourself.

:) After the first of the year, I hope to MAYBE get back in to commercial RE leasing, but I'm sure it's a whole different animal than what I was used to in a Govt. agency.

Yes, you're right Sean - I would just do a first coat primer and then paint it with a semi-gloss or gloss white - it will make a huge difference!

Then when they come to sign the lease I show them around the house and point out "this is a closet by the front door that you can store your coat in if you wish.

$50 fee and remove the animal.

So a property is on the market for $105K, move in ready just needs a fresh coat of paint and new appliances (they were removed) the previous owners were foreclosed on.

@Ellis San JoseI am still reading George Coats book your recommended me.

They have a nice solid wood countertop that is inexpensive and can be cut to size then simply brush on some oil based clear coat to protect it.

Do we continue, or do we tear it all out to the studs, or do we go over it with 1/4 inch sheet-rock, or do we skim-coat it?
