Of course if anything pops up I know it would be a tight situation and that's why my second property will be well screened. 

I am not sure what to do with this property as funds are tight, so it is just sitting there until someone helps me figure out what to do with it?

sounds correct, edges will turn without room for expansion. if its not floating, if they secured it to the subfloor too tight, the turning edges will also occur. look into moisture first, however...process of elimination, logic will tell you what's actually occurring. id guess secured to subfloor too tight.

You should find a reliable general contractor who is "hands off," where you can just tell him the work that needs to be done, sign a contract with a deadline and the rehab needed with a per diem for going over, and just come back in 2-3 weeks when it's done, then sell/rent it/whatever your exit strategy.When selling a flip, consider listing it a bit low and letting the offers/bids get close enough to it, if you want to have a shorter DOM.Make sure you buy the highest ARV you can afford to maximize your profits.Consider leveraging your money for more security/profits.There are all sorts of exit strategies out there.

That deadline is what I'm holding myself to.

It will be tight for a wholsale deal if I can't offer less than asking.

If you are already getting $100/mo more than your surrounding units then I would sit tight on the rent for now and be happy. 

It would be a tight deal for for the cash flow here. 

Due to the tight nature of my budget, my only option was to do the work myself, while I was also working a day job. 

Both managers spoke on my behalf but I did not know whether the accounts would remain open until hours before their self imposed deadline.
