You can go to the other side of town and buy a nice 3/2 brick rancher for $50-$70 k and get the same amount in rent.

You might find a contractor to do the work after you have a buyer and have the roof done and paint the house after contract and before settlement, you can pay the contractor from settlement.If the seller won't go there, you may take your option and buy Sub-To, then contract with your buyer, contract for the work to be done, upon completion go to settlement and again pay the contractor.A buyer obtaining a mortgage: The appraiser will note the deficiencies to be repaired, work can be done and the appraiser will do a final inspection so you'd work that into the Sub-To mentioned.Lastly, a buyer can agree to buy and pay for repairs needed for the lender, still accomplished as mentioned, paid upon completion of work or through settlement.

I think a cash flow+ property in Charleston is a good bet in this current market unless there's some glaring deficiency in the property.I might have an interested party if you're not going for it....

Like @Bryan K.

I like the idea of Rob K. of keeping an extra receipt book in the car.

Well Scott K., When you don't know where to go or what to do unfortunately people take advantage and they know how to play your emotions against you.

Thank you Mehran K.
