So you can change the down easily enough if you find they actually put more down.This doesn't tell the whole story but it generally answers your question.What is left out is that when going to selling, the owner ends up spending about 8% of the value of a home on real estate agent fees, & other closing costs.So, selling a home at $120,000 costs the seller about 8% or $9,600Keep in mind that 3 different appraisers will give 3 different values and they could be 15% higher or lower than the other guy.

got under contract for 47,000 in Cedar Rapids but missed a few things first time through. it's on a slope concrete block foundation small kitchen is added on and no foundation at all.floors are not level the floor plan is all wrong it's a 1900 build don't think it had indoor plumbing originally. so total gut job. might add I'm using hard money on this.now the good points it's on a1.13 wooded acres lot, and houses in neighborhood with 1/4 acres lot about same size age etc are listed around 200k. so any one know of a foundation contactor in CR that does that work?

I'm looking for a lan grading/leveling company in or near 29 Palms to level 10 lots I have.

Hi Monte, returns are certainly better in Greensboro than Chapel Hill (meaning per square foot prices are lower in Greensboro) so if you are trying to get in the door, would suggest trying Greensboro.

However, in my experience there is a lot more competition for larger properties these days which translates to higher prices and lower returns.That may not be true in your area so I would encourage you to just review as many properties as possible and run the numbers on all of them.

Both structures have their separate utility meters.The main house was leveled in 2003 so that will need to be taken care of; 4.5k. 1.5k for drywall repairs after the house is leveled. 

Its currently occupied and the rent being charged is way lower than comparable houses in the area.

I personally believe the Series LLC coupled with trust funds can provide a great level of anonymity and asset protection. 

Maybe $2450 a month for a 3 month lease - month to month after and a lower rate for a year or more.

Any advise on current crime levels?
