Thank you for the compliment, Ezra, but I really doubt others want to dress like a homeless looking construction painter plumber driving around in their beater eating pb&j's between naps.I am a horrible task delegator. 

Hi,I am new to BP and to the real-estate investor world. my only (horrible) experience in real estate was to buy my personal house at peak of 2005.

I had horrible financing terms as my closing cost was $16,000 (two closings), had to have two appraisals, had to pay 4 points and 25% down.

All of that being said, feel free to PM me for ideas of what has worked well for me and what has gone horribly wrong as well.

Gutted: he took out the carpet and padding and the walls need to be painted and the smell is horrible.

Well stated Jay.On BP we have too many investors ranting about how horrible their PM is.

That makes a huge difference for what type of tenant you can expect and whether or not $2/ft/mo is great or horrible. 

I set up some people in the past, even some who got married, and they ended horrible.

The popcorn ceiling inside is horrible and most buyers can't stand them.

Besides bandit signs are illegal, a lot of work and they work horribly.
