If it wasnt for that money at 14%, I couldnt of purchased this property, period.

I'm looking to loan 100k-200k and the owner is open to carrying the rest of 400K.

Is there a required holding period for doing a 1031 exchange?

Yeah, I always factor AC/heater, foundations, or roof repairs separate from the rest of the costs, as they completely change the game.

I actually had a small addition that had vinyl siding and used the same SW Duration right over that to match the rest of the house.

I cant speak for the rest of the country but while a bulk REO sale would have an impact on rents here I doubt it will be as much as people think.

:Damn - they didnt counter - that pisses me off10 day option in effect tomorrow around noon.You could try to find something to use as leverage to renegotiate the price down before the option period expires.

Most people aren't going to open miniblinds during a walk-through, so I can keep them from seeing the ugly neighbor on the left side.If I didn't have the budget for drapes, I'd use miniblinds strategically to block bad views and let the rest of the windows be.

My target tenants are traveling nurses and doctors who the hospital employs for 3-12 months periods of time.

The rest of the details are relevant, rate, term, balloon.....You're off to a good start.
