The other option would be to finish a lot of the house and rent it out for about $400-$500 cashflow every month and concentrate on building a window tint business and possibly work at wholesaling real estate as well for 2 years until I can show 2 years tax documents when it will then be easier to purchase more properties.

I would be concerned about the slope of the line to the street when they replaced it.If the slope isn't right or they have funky bends in it to go around big roots or above them that's when water and debris can sit and cause constant clogs.About every 3 to 6 months the plumber then has to come out and scope the clean out outside to unblock.If material is with dirt etc. is back up in the toilets or they slow drain or make a gurgling noise with bubbles you could have an issue.Make sure as mentioned before buying you get a plumber to scope it out all the way from the toilets to the main and the street to make sure there is not any issues with slopes or clogs.I have heard many horror stories where a buyer calls the county or city and they say on the phone that everything is fine and after they buy it they get hit with all these costs,fines,etc.If they won't give you something in writing I wouldn't feel comfortable about it but that's just me.So this was an existing line to the street and not a sewer tank that they converted later and hooked to the city or county correct??

I forgot to mention that vertical blinds don't collect dust, so they never need cleaning unless something gets splashed on them.

Seems like it would easier to increase it at annual renewal time.

It's much easier that way.I found mine by message a lot of them on Zillow and asking if they were, "investor friendly".

It's much easier (and less costly for you) to prepare these when proper accounting procedures are followed.

Luckily, 2 people with clean history, more of a roommate match, and better references came along shortly after this person.I filled 2 rooms!

A letter basically offering to make everyone's life easier when splitting an estate by offering a quick close, no contingency offer to buy the property involved in the probate proceedings.You can buy probate lists, or you can find details on your local city's website of the probate proceedings in your city.

Also, I think Joshua Dorkin makes a good point about looking to stay in your local area, it is much easier to learn if you can be close to the action.

Buying on the MLS has no advantage to you, and trying to put a short sale together isn't any easier than finding one listed on the MLS, except you KNOW this one is broken.
