Hi @Alecia Loveless,Your problems with this tenant illustrate that going out of your way for an existing tenant, investing extra money in their unit that you normally wouldn't spend until turnover at their request, doesn't get you any favors in return.

But, most  municipalities will settle these for 5-10% from someone who comes in and fixes the underlying issue.Some research and leg work may lead to this being a non issue (insurance company pays the claim/contractor) or maybe not…but worth putting some work into it.

Greetings BP folks,My wife and I are negotiating a deal in our area for a home that has a tax lien from the city and county.We have been working with the seller for quite some time and were offered the opportunity to purchase the home at a great price, we also have agreed to pay off the tax lien in addition to the purchase price. 

The way I saw real estate at the time was, saving money, buying a multi family, live there with tenant who help pay for my house.

My sister is selling her house to me; however, we want to do a mortgage transfer since she currently has a 2.5% interest rate, but the bank will only pay what is owed on the current mortgage.

The larger brokerages are all paying $20-$80m settlements and small brokerages have no protection if this ever comes for them.

As these numbers really effect what you should pay for the building.

That's awesome you're looking to earn some extra cash and learn something new!

It could be any side-hustle you want just as long as you like it and your able to save some extra $$$.2.

That would be a little higher than I would care to pay.
