The cost overrun budget can't handle $3k?

Waiting on return calls to get the full scoop on taking on tenants and how they handle filling vacancies. 

Maybe some other members can make recommendations based on experience.I bet there is some software out there that could handle this too. 

It only takes about an hour a day and keeps the money where it belongs - my wallet.  

@Jason Rowlett, You'll use one "agent" or qualified intermediary who will handle the 1031 exchange portion of your closings on both the sale and purchase.  

I'd be the one screening tenants and handling the issues. 

Looking for an attorney in Fayetteville North Carolina to handle a wholesale deal.

Of course, we always strive for- at minimum - capital preservation, but any substantial appreciation cannot be reliabily predicted in any neighborhood, so it helps to focus on the factors you can get a clear handle on up front.Regarding areas with solid B potential -  Pinson/Trussville are a little more rural but people in AL tend to like being outside the city, so you'll still have plenty of renters.

I am begining to market their soon but want to get all my ducks in a row to handle the purchase.

There are several reasons for it:- Lots of union contractors expecting union prices- Contractors having more work than they can handle in the spring/summer, so they take higher-paying jobs- Not enough buyer demand for rehabbed houses (meaning you can't charge a premium and recoup renovation expenses)- Strict codes and inspectors requiring higher rehab costs than other locations for same work- Long winter delays means inefficiency in getting reasonably priced work done in winter months
