Hang out for awhile in the BP FORUM on LANDLORDING and you will be amazed by what is in store for you!

I believe they are building apartment complexes and stores down the main street and senior group home other side of the main street. 

Thats too big a risk item to them.

Ive been having some difficulty comping out the piece of land as this particular property has all utilities already set for the property ( water, sewer(not septic) and electric) and most of the land properties do not have this, does anyone know how much it generally costs to get these items set up?

@Brant Vaught  If you have no cash reserves, then your FIRST item of business is to BUILD YORU CASH RESERVES!!

It gave you the status of someone that knew what they were doing and could handle all the required items involved, it was not a case of the blind leading the blind and the other party liked that.

I have heard a lot about this site from my local REIA here in Tacoma, WA and thought I'd take action and see what's in store.

Look at all the places they do not want you to inspect to find the expensive repair items that could turn the deal into a dud.Great cash flow in years one and two can be wiped out at once with a few big ticket repair items.Some TK companies are good but it's buyer beware out there. 

I feel like I should get some basic items in order first or would it be better to do it all simultaneously?? 

We ended up doing about $5,000 worth of upgrades (all new backyard fence (and the backyard was huge), kitchen backsplash, etc.)What caught me off guard more than anything was the utility bills, on going lawn care, open house and "realtor love" expense, a few staging items, etc.
