In this episode of #AskJamesWise James Wise answers the following question.
"I have had a Cleveland property since 2007. I bought it to flip and then the market tanked back then. I have since rented it out a few times to people I knew that said they would do fix-it work for rent (bad idea). They basically pulled the house apart and never finished any one project and then it took a year to get them out. (while they were living rent free). I myself am a contractor in Lakewood with a very busy business. I can never manage to get over there and do any work other than yard upkeep.. You see, when I have the money I don't have the time, and when I have the time I don't have the money. All taxes are up to date.
I am finally going to tackle the whole house starting at the end of March to get it ready for market. I have limited funds , so it is important that I put my money into where I will get the most payback. My wife and I would like to be able to list this in June or July.
I guess my question is, " What advise can you give me?"
