I am very wiling to educate myself, and I have a few months of time,because I am still having some short term spousal support and place to live , which cost me only 300/month association fees.Bankruptcy is not an option for me, due to equity in property.I am paying minimum payments on my credit cards, but a year from now I will not have money for it any more, and this is why I think the sale is going to be the only solution, however it will be emotionally difficult.

I think a much better solution is to post your questions here and have a variety of people answer your question.

The building might not be a great solution for someone with mobility issues even if work was done.

I would want the tenant out so I could get the rodent problem under control and get a full scope of the termite damage.That is what I would be concerned with as well as your re-tenant and lost rent costs until you rent the unit out again.Since you own a duplex they have shared walls.You have to make sure the other tenant is clean or the pest control service will make ZERO DIFFERENCE.The reason is even if you put poison down but food is available the pest will leave the poison and eat the food.You have to close off all exterior gaps of the building,keep tree branches away from critters getting in,keep trash in trash cans and away from the building for pick up,clean unit top to bottom,pull out stove and fridge in kitchen and degrease and sanitize.After years of recycling tenants you would not believe what builds up back there that attracts and breeds pests.Good Luck

The bankxp forum will provide ultimate solution to your loan issues.

Many sellers will have similar issues but they still want to know that you are offering a solution that fits them.

There are certainly exceptions, but they're exceptions and not the rule.That said, you have to live somewhere and living with parents probably isn't a long term solution.

But saying $700 sight unseen, that's a different message, IMO.Best solution for investors doing fix ups they need to know their business, that's part of it.

Rehab Addict, while ridiculous at times, gave me a lot of confidence that sometimes you just need to get your hands dirty and there is a solution to every problem.

I'm not sure If your familiar with the Green Tree Golf Course area of Victorville but there's a few blocks of homes in there that are mobile homes on permanent foundations.
