There are some highfalutin academics that dislike IRR because it yields more than one solution in certain cases (like more than one negative cash flow) and there are some other small problems with it.

Additionally, you'll want to fix the exterior issue that's causing the static pressure.Generally, the fix is a few thousand dollars, depending on the length of the crack.Unfortunately, both of those solutions are pretty obvious to someone looking at the house.

Check out Prosper.com and LendingClub.com, they are probably cheaper solutions if you have decent credit.

BTW, a person selling mentoring services testifying about how well worth mentoring services are is about the same as a insurance salesman (desguised as a "financial advisor" ) evaluating someones financial needs and deciding what they need is lots of life insurance - it isn't neccessarily untrue, just totally biased.I've seen and heard all the gurus - from Bob Allen, Rob Lowery all the way to the modern ones.

Sometimes you can also tell by the method of payment used as well as the listing brokerage.Here if you ask a licensed agent for sold 'Agent Complete Listings' for your comps you will also get who the listing brokerage was as well as whether or not the buyer purchased with Cash, FHA or Conventional financing.For instance I know if the listing agent was anyone from 'SellState Property Solution Realty' or 'NJREO' and was a 'cash' sale then it was likely an 'as is' deal picked up by a rehabber.

Anyways I got the pictures together and here they are.Here is a list of what we did in the kitchen- Remove 3 layers of flooring- Laid down underlayment to cover up imperfections in the floor- Refinished white formica countertops with Rustoleum Countertop Transformations - http://countertops.rustoleumtransformations.com/- Used Deglossing solution to prep cabinets, and then painted cabinets- Sanded cabinets because deglossing solution didn't work and the new paint was peeling. - Painted the cabinets a second time- Installed Trafficmaster Allure Resilient Vinyl Plank Flooring in Sedona- Installed new trim- Bought a great sink at auction for $85 (retail $500+)- New Faucet- Installed Bar Pulls in Satin Nickle and matching hinges- Painted kitchen and new trim- New Frigidaire Range- Refinished front of Dishwasher with Rustoleum Epoxy Appliance Paint.

I would definitely obtain legal advice on any solution other than tenant moving his own belongings himself in a timely manner so I could repair my property.

The second best book on the subject is the "16% Solution" but it only covers tax liens.

We have lots of 200+ year old houses around here and, when I worked in the Netherlands years ago, I lived in a "cottage" that was ~350 years old and beautifully maintained with all the modern amenities.

But for me, the most important thing is (1) if the buyer doesn't perform and breaches, I can sue for specific performance; and (2) if I don't perform and breach, my exposure is limited to the earnest money, which is not very much.I think the modern day RE contract for SFR is so long and muddled that it's nothing more than a product of the paranoia of lawyers.
