A property I am looking at is an 8 unit in CA, asking for $400K, rent roll of $4800 AND BUILT IN 1910.Building Amenities and Improvements include a New Concrete Driveway, New Stucco and Exterior Paint, New Main Electrical Panel and New Roof on Rear Building and New Mailboxes.All units have New Cabinets, New Counter Tops, New Windows, New Tiled Kitchen and Bathroom Floors, New Pergo/Laminate Bedroom Floors,New Electrical Wiring including New Sub Panels w/ Breakers and NewPlumbing.

there's one about half block from 1 train.. 80% renovated when the developer ran out of money (it's in good shape).. contractors estimated about another $500k work into this 5 story townhouse.. two 2bd 2ba floor thru unit and 1 4bed 3 ba duplex with roof top terrace.. plus a ground retail space..real estate agents estimated the rent in this area for 2bd 2ba is at least $4200.. and duplex at least $16,000 .. retail unit was already requested by a chain coffee shop for $12,500 .. annual expenses around $53k.. 7 and up cap rate.. bank wants $4.6mil.. which is way below market rate (local brokers estimated $9mil FMV when it's completed).. question is.. how to do this deal with no money down??

Nic, You said you've been shooting a while so you are probably way past this, but Greg Block has a local basic handgun class in which he spends significant time discussing the legal aspects of using your weapon to defend yourself.

I've been around the block a few times and I've never heard of that before.

So, we have hit a temp road block before we make further investments.

I won't go into detail, but I bought 20 acres next to National Forest in Utah and made it self sufficient: 2 homes, 70' serviceable wind generator, automatic tracking solar panels, a roomful of batteries, a half acre pond (12' deep with rubber liner) and a deep well.It also had a 24x30 garage built OVER a concrete basement of same size with steel door entrance.

It's 2 blocks from the downtown and court houses.

(WDRB Fox 41) -- Police say a Louisville man was leasing out homes he didn't even own -- and his "tenants" were completely in the dark.29-year-old Gary Hammond was arrested Monday afternoon near the intersection of Cannons Ln. and Dayton Ave.Police say that on Feb. 24, Hammond pretended to be the owner of a foreclosed home in the 2600 block of Patio Ct., west of Manslick Rd.

New stick built houses are going in just a few blocks away selling for $145k to $154k.Worst comes to worse, move into it.

Know the area you want to invest in, you could enter the first part of a legal description, say souther Hills Block and see what pops up.
