If you can scare an underwriter (WITH THE TRUTH!)

Everyone else is scared to death of mold.2.

We've gotten it looked at and it was estimated to cost about $6k to repair the floors.So my Q is, how do we handle the maintenance issue without scaring away potential buyers?

I am 22 years old and currently have a Bi weekly salary of $1200 once taxes, 401k, health insurance, and all of those good things are taken out of my check.

The commercial tenant definitely scares me a little and I want to find out more about the company.

Can't get any more details from the agent but I believe they own free and clear.DOM: 45 +Flaws/reason not under contract: No outdoor/yard space due to construction of 2nd unit makes it unsuitable for nice owner occupy or family rental, front house is old & scares those not comfortable with rehab, on a busy street (but 1/2 block to city park, pool, library, downtown).

Only fools are not scared.

I'd look at places at say 75,000 population + but not innercity over 200,000, personal thing, I hate traffic for one thing, but you also get more competition, lose that small bank relationships, generally have more metro regulations, health and building code issues and it's much harder to get into an influencial positions in the community, you may only get to be a small fish in a big pond.

Taking your current $50K a year example, when you add things like health insurance, retirement plan and employer paid taxes, you are closer to a $75K number than the $50K number.

A dry-rotted rubber boot or two can be a great thing, cause it can scare away some of the owner-occupants.
