Have them knock off a thousand bucks, call a dumpster company and grab a 20 or 30 yarder and pay someone $100-$200 bucks to fill the dumpster in 1 day.  Done deal, you'll come out ahead, and you don't have to worry about wasting your time with nonsense.  Don't delay owning what looks like a great property because of a minor inconvenience and nothing 1 day of labor and 2 phone calls can't fix.

that will work @Carson E.  is there any area where another door can be added in between the area of concern and the main door?

thank you very much @Mark Nolan

That sounds great @Anthony Thompson  I'd definitely like to connect. 

Best-

btw. That rental is now under contract to those tenants for $140k. Long game...

That is an awesome question @Brian Spatz. In all honesty, I remained casual investor for another year or two. I kept trying to find that home run deal but learned that it is way better hitting doubles and triples time and time again. I scored a super cheap rental that I bought for $25k. I then renovated the entire house and was all in around $75k. This was owned free and clear from the money I made in East Providence. This house rents to the same tenants today for $1250 per month. It's nothing special. 2 bed, 1 bath shotgun ranch. Less than $1000 square feet. 

I learned how to market myself and create a reputation for following through on business. I built and built the model I wanted and worked on building a business. Only in 2014 I stopped doing construction on the side and real estate became a full time gig in addition to the fire department. Between 2011 and 2014, I cherry picked deals and only took safe bets. Only when I pulled the trigger in early 2014 on a gut feeling in one of the worst areas of RI did I learn that a calculated risk is okay. Since then, my partner and I have taken our construction knowledge, our real estate experience, and nurtured the relationships we have made. In my career, I have bought over 50 properties. We currently own a number of multi family properties and manage many more. 

My advice. Don't be scared to pull the trigger. Feeling a little uncomfortable is okay. Follow your gut above all else and don't forget to invest heavily in your network. Build the infrastructure you need where everything you need is one phone call or text away. The only way to do that is to realize that it takes a lifetime to build a good reputation and 5 minutes to ruin it.
