. $10,000 to $20,000 to get a rental property is a better way to learn than throwing everything you have into one property.

Looks like this has been well covered, but I'll throw my 2 cents in.

I would like us to throw the ball between us and find out what could help you regards to you selling a property for a client or are acquiring a property for a client.

Even then the lenders are going to throw roadblocks in your way.

Don't let him throw a team in there and knock this thing out without you.

sounds like you've had bad luck and/or inheriting past bad landlords' problem tenants.this business seems to go in waves...hang in there...you will get back on your feet and things will be quite boring.I have been pretty lucky at to not been stiffed at all...but I don't press my luck...I throw everything into reserves until I hit 6 months PITA then I throw half in there and the other half into my personal savings/emergency account.

throw another 10k into the guts and you are now in to the property for 28k.

I've been throwing the idea of Section 8 around eventually; however, I'm not into rehabbing right now.

Profits don't really land in your pocket unless you are throwing money in, time, effort, financing costs, interest, any profits shared with investors, you'll be ahead doing what you do best.

Reason I ask a lot of people will throw numbers around, and the $59K repairs did a GC give that estimate.Joe Gore
