And since they moved in, they complained about everything: doors were not closing properly so we fixed them; the oven was not working properly so I sent a new one; the outside lights were too soft so I sent my electrician, who explained to me that the tenant wanted a new switch for an extra refrigerator outside, so he lied to me and complained about the light, and yes I paid for the switch installation.

add combined washer/dryer unit, laminate flooring, updated lighting, updated electrical, new kitchen counter What was the outcome?

They only call me when something big happens, they don't even call me for the little stuff (changing bulbs, fixing a light, small plumbing), I just see it on my monthly statement.

I added a motion sensor light on the front and rear of the building; trimmed tree branches at least 10 feet off the ground.

I know there are light, medium, and heavy figures that you can multiply by the square footage to get a ball park number.

2x10 used to cover mess left from old light fixtures.

I'm scouring the internet, youtube, talking to friends but I figured I'd throw up a post too and see if anyone would be willing to walk a young hustler first timer through the process.Ideas I've lightly thought about, but I'm not sure if these are possible/legal:-Take traditional mortgage for 90k, do a personal note for the remainder -Take full personal secured note for the purchase price, and pay the 90k mortgage myself-Pay off her mortgage, take ownership, then put a bank mortgage on it and pull my cash back out, and then write a note for the remainderThanks BP!

We are just partial to Palm Bay Area.It’s been about 4 weeks and waiting to receive addresses to choose from.The homes in Poinciana seemed to have more eye candy ,recessed lighted ceilings in the master and fixtures were of fancier style than Palm Bay Area homes2 different builders of course but Palm Bay is close to beaches the other cities are 45 minute to an hour drive.

Getting a HELOC first as a distinct transaction will of course take time, which is why I had to "assume" that rates will just remain exactly flat.Of course rates could drop 0.75% between now and when the HELOC is hypothetically done, washing out that 0.375%, but that's unknown and unknowable.

However, it does not mean that you cannot renegotiate the price based on the amount you think it will cost to repair the items that were brought to light by the inspection.
