. $3900 for a house is not that uncommon. i bought a 1 bedroom, one bath house for $500 one time. yes, thats right, $500. the city had taken it for back taxes, both owners were dead, and the kids did not want the place, so they let it go for back taxes. i bought it from the city for $500 and put about $5000 into it. rentedi t out for many years, then sold it for $10,000. i have bought a house for $1700 thru a back tax deal and another for $4100 thru a back tax deal. cheap deals are out there people, you just have to look for them. good luck with your plan and keep us posted

I really try to be understanding and fair, but it's not always meant to be.I should definitely do more blogging about it, that's not a bad suggestion.

@jeff t if your unit is on the beach why not put it on a vacation rental site like Vrbo and rent it weekly until you can rent it full-time to a long-term tenant.

Better to cross your t's and dot your i's. 

It is not meant to be used as one though.
