@Deborah Burian yes they could on a rebuild but this was just a unit with a minor issue. they finally gave in and allowed it. place is down on 12th and classen and was built before that area was a part of okc, imagine how long ago that must have been.

dealt with that type of zoning issue a few months ago here in okc. property was 8 apartments but city said it was a duplex. ended up it was built before the city began issuing permits and they therefore had no info to prove otherwise and had to accept as 8 apartments.

generally around here their commanding officer will "lean" on them a bit if you let him/her know the tenant is paying late. Didn't work this last time. He was given a dishonorble discharge for deriliction of duty so no dice for us.

Howdy @Chris Wilson I too am a buy and hold guy here in okc and also a property manager. i prefer the older places and duplexes as i never have both sides vacant and have a good network of handymen in place to get them rent ready. I'm at a 0.99% return right now overall on my properties so I think you are in the right place. Let me know any way I can help you here in okc.

So what are the key things you look for in a property manager/property management company?

yes lots of folks are doing that here as well. I need to add that.

Crazy thing happened, she called me yesterday, just got out of the hospital. cirrhosis of the liver, said she almost died. Her mother took her keys, rent money and medication from her apartment without her permission. I believe her as she has had lots of issues with family. Feel very badly for her but she said "i'm a figheter, I am going to make it." Just glad she is ok for now.

I am leaning that way and anyway she is on the 3rd floor and we have a few 1st floor coming up that if/when she recovers i think would be easier for her to access.

no luck with mom, we tried to get her phone number and she would not give it to us and was not interested in talking. sad but she seemed more concerned in getting anything of value from the apartment.

Well there wont be any estate, she does not really have anything but medical bills and the small apartment she leased from us.

Already had a tenant hang himself in another unit so been there, fortunatly it went over fairly smoothly all things considered.

yes truly amazing and i truly like the tenant and want to help all i can but i can only hold a unit vacant so long before i have to evict and hate the thought of evicting her in her current state. my thought was to move her things into storage and hold it for a while (indefinitely), we have other units in the complex always opening up i would be happy to give to her if/when she is recovered. not sure the legality but morally it seems this would be the best thing to do for her and I know she would appreciate the care/thought.
