If you do not know about foundations the cost can be a little or huge to repair.

We bought it for $23,500 on 10/31/13 and rehab came in under budget at about $8,500 which included tree removal, siding repair, Porch support post replaced, sheet rock and paint int., tile kitchen/dining, hall, laundry, new carpet living room, BRs, appliances, plumbing repairs, new ceiling fans/light fixtures throughout, insulate attic, new int.doors and front entry door (kicked in while rehabbing), blinds.

A reduction might be better as you do not know the standard of repair an existing seller will use on a property.

Lag time, cash flow, seasonal concerns, repairs/maintenance, management requirements in operations, staff needs to be paid first, will determine when and how investors can be paid.

This is not in place of calling the repair company but in addition to it.

oh and to save some time i knowasking price, comps, and repairs are a must but what beyond those numbers/info?

Repairs are about $5120-6400 cosmetics updates).

This includes capital expenses (like a new roof) and appliances, repairs, and vacancies.On this site there are lots of articles on the "50% rule".

Most of these homes are quite old and am afraid these might be endless headaches without costly updates and repairs.

I have an equity line/401k to fund the repairs.
