The tile flooring did not match throughout the house, the grout lines were not even, and some areas around the edge of the time had almost 2" of grout instead of cutting a piece of tile for the edge.

Ideally, you get the settlement amount in writing.If you win at the auction and find liens you weren't expecting, you have to contact each one and negotiate a settlement.Each type of lien needs to be treated differently.

Many sponsors use a "make up return" where they get a match on preferred returns.  

JT McGraw - When you install the new ones, invest in installing some inexpensive clear or cabinet color matching vinyl / plastic cabinet liners so the bottoms are protected from spills and scraping.

So ideally if you eventually get rents to market value by increasing at $250 per month you'd be up to $5300 gross per month.  

My time frame for this is ideally within the next 6 months.I'm interested in connecting with someone who's done similar deals and talking about this process.

I'm scouting multi-families to househack, so ideally somewhere that needs cosmetic improvement but isn't totally in the hood.Historic Kenwood looks exciting(!)

For reconnection : you'll want to make sure the A) gas valve is working well B) the thermocouple is working well & sending signal to pilot without effort C) the igniter is working well OR, the tenant can reasonably easily reach in with a match or BBQ lighter to light the pilot.

Still a newbie, but wanted to obtain my real estate license while I learn more.I work full-time at nights so my ideal schedule is during the day.

Ideally transfer the money into a different financial institution from that account.
