I haven't been able to gage how much they cost to rehab.

A low-cost way to do it would be to paint the walls, the garage door, and close off any access to utilities.

It could cost quite a lot.

My wife and I look at a few different things: - Location - City growth (are people moving there, is a big company settling there)- Costs of the property vs. the rental income - Appreciation vs. cash flow (which is sometimes dependent on the city)I'm curious to hear what others have to say!

Second, do the math and tally costs both monetary and emotional....is it better to get an attorney and go thru eviction process or give her the incentive to get out.

What are the key factors influencing the cost of care in assisted living facilities in New Jersey and New York?

I will reinvest all of the funds from the anticipated 600K sale (less 35K in selling costs).

The renovations are covered at Replacement cost.  

In the event Sellerfails to close the sale of the subject property pursuant to the terms & provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled topursue legal recourse for specific non-performance and shall be entitled to compensation for any costs associated with suchactions, including but not limited to escrow fees, title fees, attorney fees, court fees, etc.

It's family and I do much of the engineering/cost modeling work for the existing operation.
