Is it harder than 2011, yes, is it impossible to buy in a growing affordable market with meat on the bone, not at all.

In short, we place the add everywhere, get the responses (often - these responses tell you a lot) and then I ask that the potential renter to call me at a specific day/time.

What you could do is leave some "meat on the bone" and not renovate all of the units or leave some type of way for the next buyer to still come in and "add value", if that makes sense.

@Dillon Cook do you think with 20 to 25% down on a single i could get cash flow?

Maybe someone could look past the bankruptcy if I can get a good off market deal under contract with enough meat on the bone first.

I am specifically trying to find information about the following:1)  Is a range hood required over a propane cook stove?

Most property managers are 8% which isn’t necessarily worth it to me at least.

Decided to make the goal of retirement in 4 years that puts me at 62.

but how about the refund of the security deposit if any, in PA we only have 30 days to do so, how would I accomplish that if the tenant has 30 days to pick up belongings which would then put me at 31 days to refund or send letter of deductions then i'm at risk of being sued?
