How do you like it? 

Likely not so this pushes the terms down meaning a higher down payment and a higher rate.3) Have you done any construction projects at all yourself or rehab flips even? 

The anticipated surge in population in Onondaga County, expected to grow by 25% over the next two decades, will likely escalate property values and rental prices.

I had an offer written up but knew if I submitted it too soon it would look like a low-ball offer and probably not get accepted, last day I was in town the price dropped and I threw in a full offer and asked for full closing costs.

But, if the cost is fairly nominal, maybe under a couple grand, and you have no experience in real estate, including owning your own home and hiring contractors for that, then it is likely worth it.I would always start with a deep assessment of where you feel you don't have adequate knowledge.  

The neighbor (also a lawyer if that makes a difference) likes to let them run loose in his (and my) front yard.

That's what I have been reading and seems like a consensus great pick from other resources.

On cold days like this, we sure miss Benny's though! 

Looks like I have my 203k team formed since this post, besides contractors.

Like Both Account Closed said, you can contribute property into and out of an LLC - as long as it is not taxed as an s-corp without it creating a taxable event.So, in your case you're almost all the way to no problem.
