I am anticipating a total interior rehab on 9 units (averaging about 1000-1200 sq ft each) and I was hoping to keep the cost below $200K, but after reading posts on this forum, it looks like I could spend a lot less than that if I really knew what I was doing (which I don't).

But to make that happen, I'm anticipating a need to screen below age 18.Perhaps in some areas this type of juvenile screening may be unnecessary but in my target area crime is a real potential.

I have purchased a lot of owner financed properties and anticipate doing that again, sometime in the future.This is different time than now.
