In my opinion, further negotiating the contract to resolve the pest treatment issue (even if you and the seller agree to split the bill) reopens the contract -- you are essentially voiding your accepted offer and making a new offer.

It could easily be double that or higher when you factor in evictions and people splitting after a month and a half.

In the past, one partner would put up the money/financing, we would handle the leg work and split the profit.

Know too what is common for such land in the area, rock type and consentration of rock as a septic cost estimate will usually not include hitting rock.

My girlfriend and I would likely split all costs to a reasonable extent and she has offered to go in on the mortgage, would this be more or less beneficial to both of us (vs one or the other)?

Now a friend would like to invest $15k to cover rehab costs(and split any expenses moving forward).

An experienced investor might be willing to offer a lower split of the deal, but their experience might result in a higher rate of return despite the lower split.

Hi All,A colleague of mine purchased a piece of land (1/3 of an acre) in Eagle Rock, Blue Mountain PA.

So even though those are nice numbers, they are not realistic to what HUD pays out, only a maximum amount.I use the MLS, or a local agency that places rental tenants, and I use them to place tenants for me, because in case you have been under a rock, prospective tenants have a LOT more rights and the process to screen is crazier than ever, I outsource it, AND the liability.

You rock!
