If I ran only when the weather was perfect and everything was nice I would hardly ever get started.

The one 'downside' of SOLO401K that I ran across is that you can NOT roll a ROTH IRA into anything other than another ROTH IRA, so that meant it had to stay in my ROTH SDIRA. 

Commit to the process of becoming a regular Pittsburgh investor, hang out here on BP with the Pittsburghers, study the city, its history, its culture, and its strangeness, and eventually you will be richly rewarded.

I ran by the property and it looks vacant.

That one single person who has ever been accurate did so by going to the FICO website, he clicked "show me the scores used by mortgage lenders," paid $20, and I ran his credit on the exact same day & the exact same number for all three bureaus (which meant it was a waste of his $20 in retrospect).

I ran some comps and came up with a number, twice.

One of the more cost affordable solutions I ran across was to purchase a ductless fan.

I ran the numbers and by estimates it would still cash flow negatively with a 30 year note.

However I need to make the place habitable and do to do that I need to install a new steam boiler the old one is broken.This is where I ran into my 1st hicccup.

I ran the deal with 7.5% down on the BP calc.FINANCIALSDown Payment: 21,750CC & Inspections: 5000Cash Needed: 26,750Monthly ExpensesP&I: 1453/moT:  208/moI: 115/moPMI: 175/moPM: 232 (I will attempt to self-manage for as long as possible)Vacancy @ 5%: 116/mo= $2299 monthly payment with PM, $2067 without PM in place.I figure cap-ex and maintenance will happen, and we don't know when.. as something could happen day 4 of owning the property.
