After ten years, I've finally decided to stop trying.I'll spare you the details.

I have finally finished my residency and will be starting my first job in Buffalo, NY this upcoming August.

He says he prefers to wait until the liens are paid off instead of inheriting the mess.I know probates also have issues arising from tracking down the Executor, and getting all family interests to be happy with the offer you present to him (though he has final authority). 

Typically, somewhere prior to year 10, the total accumulated cash flow as a function of the purchase price has surpassed most of the higher initial cash flow areas.In addition, the property value appreciates (because over the long term San Diego always has but mostly because every metric shows that it should).If you desire you could choose to do it again (the final R).I am definitely not indicating that BRRRR is easy or requires no effort (it is not real easy and it requires a fair amount of effort). 

But just like everything else the only person that should form that final opinion is you.

I already had a new AC unit and a new roof planned into my budget, but I was able to negotiate a $10,000 reduction in price, down to $262,000          Final Numbers:      $262,000 purchase price, with $5,000 down.

My tenant has vacated (she had till end of May to complete her 12 months lease) the property without notification (no final walk thru) and no forwarding address.

This is opposed to a seller financing deal where title does not transfer until the final payment has been made.

I would go into the renovation thinking about the final product as a rental and how to get the most of that future investment, and less about what you want now. 

In addition to the CNI efforts, there are many other developments happening in Pullman and the revitalization is not finalized.
