For Modernization - 4% of successful bid4.

We just Got under contract for a beautiful building with a ton of historic features, and instead on coming in and completely gutting out the units, we want to work around these classic features, while providing modern touch and feel; mainly the woodwork around the unit (beautiful floors,trim, doors and kitchen cabinets that I don’t want to touch much).

What I like specifically about these markets is that they not only cash flow well but also have solid economic and demographic fundamentals with modern, diverse economies.

@Kevin Romines no problem rent to own option is $5000 option fee - $1500 a month rent - $75 a month concession - $150,000 purchase price 3 year agreement - it's not possible to extend the contract according to my lawyer, this is my first rent to own property so I am unsure why, I have a meeting with her tomorrow it's on my list of questions to ask.My goals are to buy run down property's in decent areas, fix them up to a modern standard then market them as rent to own once the process is complete to refinance and take out hopefully everything I have invested then repeat the process.With this deal I am testing the waters to see if the business model works and how much of my time it takes up (so far it is working but it is also taking up a lot of my time but I feel like I can streamline this process better with more experience and knowledge)The interest rate on this mortgage right now is 5.2% and it's a home owners loan I now need it to be a rental mortgage.the balance is just under $85,000 I am guessing the home is valued at $150,000 Thank you for taking the time to reply to me I appreciate your help. 

Just the fact that the Modern Monetary Theory (the idea that the government can take on as much debt as they want as long as it is in USD and the FED can just make more USD appear out of thin air (quantitative easing)) is being discussed seriously is frightening to me.

A tragic flaw of our modern thinking is that learning is something for people in their teens and twenties.

Long gone are the days where utility stocks were used by little old ladies to seek a modest return.

Have a condo I’m looking to rent out and a lady has a small dog she’d like to bring into the condo.
