For $3500 I can split the second unit electric and remove the gas stove.

Sounds like you answered your own questionThanks for the replies.My goal, ideally, is to put 20% down, have rents cover all standard costs (mortgage, regular maintenance), then sell the property after ten years without capital gains.

Hi Shivron,If you exhaust all other options you could buy a $40 shingle scraper and remove the shingles yourself.You would probably have to rent a trailer to haul them off to the dump if you don't have a pickup truck.That and a home depot card for some new shingles and etc..., plus a few YouTube videos you might be able to self-roof the place.It's not Rocket Science.If it's tar or membrane it will probably take a professional to do it though.But if it's just shingles, many people do that themselves.Plus i'm surprised they made a loan with 4 layers of shingles, and in such bad shape (if they are shingles).Good Luck!

Hello,I have a duplex with a concrete front yard with a chainlink fence that I recently removed due to being in bad shape.

Hi everyone, Currently I am remote to the suburban Chicagoland market, but I'm looking to get connected with others who are active in the multifamily space in the NW Suburbs.Are there any good, active communities that are meeting regularly that you'd recommend? 

We had a ton of small flies in our house and found a bag of potatoes made their way to the back of the pantry and were the source once we removed then problem went away.  

It would be hard to figure all this out if we didn't drive to properties regularly, walk the area, manage in-house and so on.

If supply and demand can't correct the difficulty with price, then some sort of regulatory force is acting on the industry that needs to be removed, because we are all screaming for more GCs from sea to shining sea.

Also, I heard that modular construction is a bit cheaper than regular construction.Am I naive to think it's doable as my first-time investment? 

Am I to assume for Note Investing, it's a regular LLC in my home state?
