I would keep significant reserves for this stuff until you see how it operates over time, and be careful using percentages to calculate expenses because the rents aren't high enough to extrapolate reasonable numbers to cover basic maintenance and repairs. 

(you might have to pay some closing costs unless they can roll them into the FHA loan).[2] A lender who will lend to you.[3] Acceptable lender credit.But job #1 is to stabilize yourself indoors, then get a second job and save up some emergency money so this is less likely to happen to in the future.If you get  a second job at a resturant --maybe you can eat for free there.If you are depressed--get some counseling....some place charge a sliding scale on what you can afford.This is just a skim over view on this stuff...It will probably take you a couple of years to get your act together to where you are comfortable buying..so in the mean time study.Good Luck!

Without knowing all of the details, it sounds like this stuff was immediately below the ceiling repair and she did nothing to move it.

Matter of fact I think the CA DRE frowns upon that.PS spell check is all wonky right now on BP so excuse my spelling and grammer as I pound this stuff out.. its the thought that counts :) 

Shadow your dad in how he does the behind the scenes stuff.

After years of relative quiet, appliance-wise, we had to replace two refrigerators and a dishwasher in three different units.Both refrigerators, different brands, from different sources, arrived faulty.The first wouldn’t cool.

We changed the locks, police left, texted the tenants saying if you want any more of this stuff, arrange a single time with me before x date (1 month store of belongings required) to pick it up.

@Belliny Flores When you discuss asking price, you might ask the seller how they arrived there.It is highly unlikely that they have done a good job with comps or even know how. 

Most things got thrown straight into the dumpster, but there was a lot of good stuff there. 

Just tons of stuff and 1 million deal is like 100k house in residential.
