Since I don't mentor, it doesn't affect me, but it interrupts the flow of the conversation when they start deleting posts. 

We really do get to decide how and where the conversation, advice and comments get to go!

Hello BP community,I find that there are lots of sub-par companies and people out there and from our initial conversations with certain lenders or investors, I suspect them of being fraudulent. 

A few items:1) Are utilities sub-metered?

Looking foward to future conversations.

What gave you the impression that repair items listed in the inspection report or on the property listing would be addressed by the seller or buyer?  

Some have asbestos and other items that make tearing them down and disposal for haul away more expensive.

I have a single family home that has been leased to the same tenant for 3 years.  They pay on time but are extremely messy people.  There are 4 broken or missing window blinds, a broken kitchen drawer, molding damaged...

The roof is a major ticket item that can really hurt the renovation budget. 

Rough estimation: $200 - 450Gross property income: $1700 (assuming no income from a fourth unit because I would be living there)Payments and utilities: $-1450 (at max)Cash flow: $=250 (Give or take depending on utility cost, time of year, vacancy etc...)As a new investor and landlord, should I be afraid of this property and the somewhat unorthodox nature of a single family / fourplex conversion house?
