Sometimes you may have to empty the place because of some critter infestation :) then naturally repairs f you have to go as far as tenting it to get rid of the problem it may be worth it if its squatters you maybe able to arrange a deal to get afew tougher ones to hang around I know of one gentleman who if they have a car (he has a fancy high dollar pellet gun) starts with the windows after replacing some catch on if not have known him to pop the folks directly a time or two.

It's a large corner on a road that sees 15,000 cars on a daily basis.

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2 family with a detached two car garage that is currently rented to an older guy, separately from either residence.The place is only for storage.Absolutely no working on cars or running a business out of.No storing hazardous material or illegal goings on.Not in any way responsible for damage due to environmental conditionsTenant is responsible for securing his propertyOnly allowed to access the space between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM - so as not to disturb tenants.The gentleman seems to be a hoarder and is in his 70s.

So a lot of energy went into this one and I turned the city building department upside down, talking to zoning, engineering, code enforcement, permits, most of them got to know me now and hope I would buy the property and fix it up LOL.

Ours is a neighborhood that's transitional, so having a place to keep a car for our tenants is a big deal.

How we started: While in the Air Force, I bought an expensive car, thinking I would remain on active duty to repay the loan...and discovered I was pregnant.

I won't go into pricing or valuation but you're buying much in the same way as you'd buy a used car or boat from a dealer instead of from the individual owner.

They say the car is a university on wheels.

I am trying to find my first rental but in order for it work it has to meet seemingly impossible criteria.Here is what I am looking for:SFR, 1600-2000sqf, 3bdr, 2+bth, 2 car garage, built after 1985.Location: Midcities area of DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth).These houses are listed between $110K and $130K and rented for $1200-1600/mo depending on the area.However, once I calculate effective cash flow after all expanses are paid, my total purchase price must be at least 30% less than the list price.I asked several listing agents if the seller would lower the price but response was always the same: "we already have multiple offers".

I would like to get into a duplex to start investing.I currently have a house that I live in 3 bed 2-1/2 bath and a bonus room atop a 2 car garage.
