I hate the ugly base boards and have looked at replacing them but they seem to run$200-$300 per cover!

Financing like this can be possible provided your credit is stellar and the cash inflow of the property can cover the debt payments.

Do your rents cover your mortgage, taxes,and the like?

I financed the house but used the buyers 10% down to cover my 10% down and still ended up ahead about $500 then in 6 months I will make a net profit of about $12k.

Somebody must want to get rid of their place ASAP.Trying to cover all the bases.

If you get defaulted on there's a good chance that the first is in default as well, which means to get your money you're going to have to get the first current, foreclose on your note and then sell the property for enough to cover both, plus a profit.Bad credit history, bad payment history means the risk is higher, which makes the return higher on a RISK ADJUSTED BASIS.

Worth area is a futile move.Granted, a good percentage of people do it FSBO because they simply don't have sufficient equity in the property to cover the 6% Realtor fee's but, as I teach/preach in my classes...

The $900 rent covers the 5.3% interest rate I pay for my mortgage, the $360 monthly maintenance fee, plus RP tax and insurance.

I remember one episode where the owners (a husband and wife) couldn't get their asking price, didn't have room to come down because of how tight the numbers were, and ended up putting the house up for rent and having the wife go back to work so they could cover the payments on this house.

If we leave one unit open for ourselves, the rent will still cover it even if we only have two tenants.
