I think the 4/2 had a 24K BTU (it was ~5 years ago) and required an extra drop from the utility company and a new panel. 

If you're losing $200 per month, that burn rate would take 15+ years or so to be the same.  

While using the listing agent gives them an extra incentive to close the deal, they never owe any allegiance to you in any way, shape, or form.

Of course you don’t have to spend a fortune to do this – just a couple of extras can help to position your property as ideal for that target market.4.

I have a solid lead on a house that was burned out last year.

The 'extra'  equity and loan amount will hurt your cash flow for that property but what if that' extra' was $10k that you were able to use your buy a note that returns 13% annually.

If feels like slimy way to pull an extra 10% out of the owner. 

In the past week I've looked at 10 MLS properties.5 of those had illegal additions.I'm not talking about an extra little balcony either.

I'm lucky my girl has the slovak nationalitie so its a little bit easy-er for me to start, but im focussing now on how i can make a good deal there without burning my money, and most importently where i need to think about, the crucial things..My first plan was buying from a "RE- bureau" who sells properties and pay little bit more but handles all the papers for me.. but last week i found a guy (online) who is a lawyer and sworn translator there and he speaks my language (dutch). the man himself is living there for 20+ years so he should know the rules, i will try to work with him to get some deals from other landloards or 'normal' people to get cheaper deals.

I knew it would be a fairly simple answer, just wanted the extra input.
