If so, is there a preferred way of doing this?

But I prefer my f350 and my diesel excursion.

At this point I am thinking vinyl will be the preferred route but am open to other suggestions. 

Account Closed I prefer to not share pictures but I happy to discuss :) The property is worn down a bit (paint on trim needed to be scraped off and redone, broken fence in yard, minor things inside the units, etc.) but habitable. 

Even so, I would prefer to keep close to requirements of the ordinances as possible when it comes to parking and occupancy as I believe those were made because there is a real concern in the community and this (in my opinion) is circumventing the rules enough as it is.I hope this sounds like an interesting opportunity for many of you!

Agree 100% with @Joe Scaparra and @Ryan Kelly, but there's also nothing wrong with buying a condo to live in if that's your preferred lifestyle.

We would need to take a look at what you have signed to make sure its the standard agency disclosure form or something modified, or if you signed something completely different like an exclusive right to represent which will also mention agency disclosure within.At the end of the day, You should have an agent whom you trust, in personal character and knowledge of your particular asset type and preferably location.

I prefer turnkey companies that have their own in-house property management team.

Either he doesn't have the cash himself, or he would prefer to put your cash in the seller's hand rather than his own. 

I always prefer to find a diamond in the rough and breathe new life into it.
