I was able to figure out that they had come upon some hard times and were significantly low on cash.

Then let's set up a call to discuss your options and figure out a strategy for Home 2.Jeff

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

I looked at putting in meters direct to every home, but they would cost roughly $2,000 per meter if put as direct to tenant, which seems cost prohibitive.

.- Look next to the name of the person, and you can see whether they are a tax professional: a CPA, an EA (Enrolled Agent), a tax strategist and so on, it all means roughly the same, as we already discussed. - If you come across the same tax expert on multiple threads, and you consistently like their responses, send them a PM via Bigger Pockets or contact them via the contact information listed at the bottom of their comments.IMPORTANT: we're prohibited from offering our services to you, both publicly and privately - unless YOU initiate the conversation from your end.Still, some people choose to ignore these Bigger Pockets rules and will send you an unsolicited PM or even post publicly something like "give me a call, happy to chat."

All I can figure is that it’s being mismanaged.  

I compile the list of only properties that can gross six figures plus and with prices under $800k.

And start feeling people out and figure out who’s real and which one of those you vibe with.

The seller had the place for 10 years, in the beginning the tenant was 83 years old, figure the tenant would die in the few years, or move to a nursing home, never bothered to renew leases like 5% of $90, that he left it alone since he had 4 stores paying crazy market rents on the ground floor.

Figure out how to actually analyze property and practice.
