To top off the wackiness, there's also a Mifflin County, and it's also in the middle of Pennsylvania.The third example is McKees Rocks and McKeesport, at different ends of the county.

You could take the profit and buy two cash-flowing rentals, stocks at rock bottom prices, bonds, or a combination.

Check if the roof has rocks.

I don't know Russell Brazil personally, but I bet as a top agent he could count on one hand the lead gen methods he uses and rocks at.

If no continue ; if yes skip.It all depends on your other income.Appreciation in CA is just too rock solid, last month only we got 10% MoM basis.Theoritically with 10% MoM and rebound market, negative cash flow issue is nothing considering it doesn't hurt your wallet.Sell at year 4-5 and you would be set.

@James Gates You're an inspiration and a rock-star!

Code Enforcement goes to the property, posts a notice on the door, and asks the guests to leave - not the stuff of a good online review.I have clients who are absolute rock stars in this venue...and the #1 rule in our selection process is "if it ain't legal, it's not going to happen." 

Rip the sheet rock and plaster out.

If the roof is gravel then can be more as they have to do extra labor to suck off the rocks before they can tear off and replace.Most times what you are buying is not the building but the dirt for the area and location.There not really loans on less than 5 years remaining properties.

The best advice I can give is this...PASSIVE INCOME ROCKS!
