Real estate is in my blood, following my parents around on the weekends with their rentals.

Thanks, Newbie Blood A.K.A Marlon Dugar

(I'd never have tolerated delays like that in a normal tenant...one of the foundations of Sect 8 are the same treatment for all groups)Now- once we got into their system (direct deposit to a corporation's account, I provided everything to them but my blood type and tax returns).

If there's no bad blood between you, call your mentor and find that investor friendly title company.

Blood is pouring out of my ripped elbow so I grab it and put pressure on it.  

Cheap commercial probably won't "walk" as well, but it wears better as the thread count may be higher, tighter but thinner and harder.

I don’t want to create bad blood with the neighbor.

I really do like the deal overall, the extra $20k stretches me thinner than I had hoped, but my family can help me out with it, if I decide I want this place.What I am looking for specifically is advice working through the returns calculation logic.

That situation could be fine as long as everyone is incredibly clear about the professional distinctions, but it can still create bad blood if something were to go not as planned, at your risk of incurring unexpected vacancy.

With that being said anything that values out below the average home sale after repair moves quick, but margins can be thinner for an investor/wholesaler.
