So, not bad for our first unit. 

This is as bad as it can get.. 

im a newbie investor i have little to no money but am inerested in real estate. How to start with abandoned properties with little to no money and make it profitable in trenton nj?

I've been a member on this site for about 5 years and I have seen as many bad stories as good stories on SFH's. 

What the family is worried about is if I ask him, he'll know His ex wife is selling the house, tell somebody on the outside and then something bad will happen.

The meetups were selling the Renatus education system, but I'm getting a pretty bad feeling about it, so I'll stick with learning what I can from here and other less expensive resources. 

If things are tight, renting is always a safe choice $$-wise, because of the price of flexibility.Your plan doesn't sound bad- but there is no best plan for everyone.

I found comps with same bedroom, bathroom, and prett much same sq for :155,000 (within 2 blocks of seller) 128, 000 (within 2 blocks of seller) 181,100 (within one mile) 169,000 (within one mile) I haven’t been able to ask about repairs yet but the place looks pretty bad.

I am not rewarding bad behavior, I am trying to hedge against my investor losing more time and money. 

Get rid of bad debt, before good debt!
