I have found an inherited, non-listed FSBO in the engle wood neighborhood of Chicago, IL.  

If we replaced the carpet with tile or wood or vinyl, the charge to the tenant would still be the lost value on what we had to take out, not the value of the new product.  

Set your sights on a cheap property. 

Remolded kitchen, with tile and wood laminate throughout.

I am going to be in your neck of the woods next Monday meeting with my real estate attorney to start putting together my LLC and getting some documents in order.My number is listed in my signature line.

One of my parent's townhomes in Palm Bay, a wood frame property, was recently re-quoted at $3,000 / year...yikes.ThanksChris

I've had lots of wood on it, a scrapped metal shed, and the Atticat machine with 12 bales of insulation on it at different times.  

If you can buy something super 1970s, horrible brown carpet, dark wood paneling, drop ceilings, dated fixtures and appliances etc. that is functional plumbing, electric, septic, etc. that might just be the ticket.I've financed a few of these without problem.
