I'll take 4 seasons, a 2500 sqft home on 2 acres for $200K, a down to earth girl, clean air, and 100 yards of open highway in front of me and my V8 every day.  

Has 1 tenant upstairs for 6 years, very clean tenant paying below market rent at 550/month.

You could manage it the popular vacation rental sites and simply find someone local to the area to clean it, check up on it, handyman it, etc. 

Failed to maintain exterior service walks, passage, and areaways in clean, sanitary, or safe condition3.

If you buy a house and want to do most of the minor work (flooring, paint, lights) are you allowed to do it as a homeowner?

Hi ,i'm in the middle of purchasing a vacation rental and called CBIZ and Proper ins,and both companies have a clause about casual workers.not being covered and to have them covered you would need worers comp ins.I sometimes like to hire friends kids to do some painting in my other rentals .but with this commercial type of insurance i guess that's out of the question.Ihad also hoped to ocasionaly hire a local cleaning lady to clean in between bookings.Any advice on what to do would be helpfull .Thanks!

(First Floor: 2bd/1bath & Second Floor: 3bd/1bath)Listing Price: $299,900 - very good/competitive priceClosing costs: $7200 Commission as "buyer's agent": $5800Taxes: $4,582 with no exemptions for the moment Repair Cost: $15KRental Income for 3bd/1bath: $1300-1500 (Chicago's rental market is skyrocketing)Insurance: $3000/yrMortgage: $2000 including insurance/taxesThe basement can be finished and the rentable 3bd/1bath could duplex up into the massive unfinished attic.

With the clean up and repairs to re-rent the units that number was up to around $12,000.

I plan on going with the neighbors idea of adding a shed dormer to the 3rd floor to add space, as long as planning approval goes ahead.
