It will at least need some fresh paint.

i agree with bit and pieces of the reponses. angie's list is paid and they pay to eliminate the bad feedback. so i dont use it.craiglist, i got a lot of junk, but it's the lowest price, which i like.calling stores - it works and i get good work, but i dont tell them who reffered me or else the quote is automatically higher.REIA - every single time the quote is higher when they find out that another investor is referring them.seth got it right - you have to have a constant supply of fresh contractors becuase they start charging more and more on each job or their quality goes down. i keep a spreadsheet and need to update with new contacts very often. it's the nature of the business.

I am fresh out of college so buying a property in D.C. will take a bit of creativity.

The house needs fresh paint and then it is ready to rent.

I have cash but no income [I'm fresh out of school with an hourly job but a about 30k saved] You've offered me some worthwhile advice on this FHA matter, if you have any other insight, I welcome it!

I really like the idea--I am pretty fresh out of college, so I am used to moving in and out of places quite often.

This is a follow up to my post How to finance a rental guest unit but since the parameters have changed, I'm starting a fresh post.We are looking at purchasing raw land adjacent to our primary residence, building a house on it and renting out our current residence.

Hi Everyone,My question is which is better to start out in for some one fresh out of high school and begining college.

A little elbow grease, a fresh coat of paint, and it was ready for new tenants and we got $25 more per month in rent than with that old one.

I personally like the idea of finding a multi-unit fixer and perhaps starting fresh with new tenants (our single family home was a major fixer and it worked out very well for us).We will also use a portion of the HELOC for flipping to bring in extra cash flow.We in the ballpark here?
