Berry Lane park, with NYC views, the Garfield & MLK Light Rails, arlington park farmers market.

With private lenders if you are light in one of those areas, but strong in the other areas, you can still get approved. 

With that said, tread a bit lightly. 

After all, if a judge ordered the eviction in the first place, there must have been a good reason and who am I to second guess it with only half the story being told to me (in the most favorable light I'm sure). 

My focus has been on cash flowing real estate and have purchased an indoor storage facility, a horse farm, a two tenant retail building, a mobile home park and other commercial and residential properties. 

But your COC return is now $2000/$20000 or 10%.Also notice you have $80k more to invest in other properties.The trick is to use the use the leverage to increase your COC returns but not use so much that you have cashflow problems.Also, there are several articles here on the site that explain this in a lot more detail:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/04/18/leverage-vs-pay-cash-rental-properties-debate/ That's puts it into the light a lot more thanx.

Any light that can be shed on this matter would be highly appreciated.Thank you,Crystal

He usually uses $20/sq ft for a Basic Remodel ( new kitchen, baths, flooring, paint in & out and lighting ), but all that is not needed here.

The tenant who lives over there installed light switch using metal cloth hanger....  

If some one could shed some light on this it would be great.
