once you get tenants in there, you'll have some $ coming in regularly. no idea how your gonna pay off the $75k in credit cards though. why did you throw so much debt on a rental property?

Simply start a blog and begin sharing your knowledge on a regular basis.

One other question: would it be better to use green board for the replacement material than regular drywall?

And my area is about as far as I'd be willing to drive on a regular basis (about 30 minutes from home).

The regular payment is 1,000.

I am not wealthy and don’t drive that Audi R8 of my dreams, but I am a regular guy on his way.

Besides the regular tenant nightmare issues like tenants letting the pipes freeze due to services being disconnected for non-payment, property damages, ongoing calls about plumbing issues, and the list goes on and on and on... there are other reasons (when dealing with Section 8 tenants) that would not make it cost-effective to be an absentee landlord that doesn't bother with their tenants.There are routine inspections, repair reports, fluctuations in rent portions, and times where NHA will abate (not withhold) rent due to failed inspections.

(More time, money and less R-value)Drywall regular with higher r-value insulation.?

yes thanks Donald--I'm wanting to convert a duplex into one SFH.And I'm just spitballing at this stage, though I'm getting ready to complete one regular renovation in about six weeks and I'm thinking about the next project.
