Now I've got a property under contract:$78K purchase$35K in development of utilities.$24K in soft costs (permits impact fees etc)$200K (or less) buildout of the house (size tbd on after-build-appraisal) Likely going with 2/2 A frame 1000 sf.

Did the son in one of your 4 units declare bankruptcy?

She helped several other clients out of a similar situation in Baltimore. 

One of the properties is a three bedroom with no garage that the tenants pay on time but require more of my time than the others .

I have all kinds of specific searches set up for my investor clients to help find the best deals. 

It was one of my first claims and I learned how their claim system works and never failed again.
