Just easier to learn from the mistakes of others.So, what are you going to do to[size=18]MAKE IT GREAT in 2008!

go in the attic on a sunny day so you can see light coming through the hole. depending on the size you can seal it with some flashing and roof black

Lost job, Bought/built a new home and moved in but cant sell the old home, New job in another city and didnt sell the local place prior to the move, Wants to clear some property for $$$ to pay bills/retire etc ....and the list goes on....Listen to what the home looks like, size, appliances, condition etc..

I have a property similar in size so I know that that seems kinda low for oil heat.

When I bought my first home in '04 I could get into any size house for 0-down, I know times have changed.

The final number Im looking for advice on is vacancy rate.

Hey and thanks for finally joining the site!

[size=18][/size]Anyone...

If you use the search function at the top of the page for 50% rule or 50% expenses, you will understand what I'm talking about.I won't buy a property unless I get $100 per unit per month positive cash flow using real world expense numbers (the 50% rule).To get the capital gains exemption, you must live in a property 2 of the past 5 years.One final thought.

And finally, it owuld be great to get advice on taking the deal through to closing, what to look for, etc.
