Now i dont recommend this style of transaction for those with limited capital if gave a seller 10k and then 30k to bring him current and we lost the whole amount that would just be the cost of doing business.. but for someone else that could be devastating.. 

Then as suggested by a couple others - we do group appointments, open house style.

In that price range you can also run into issues with "style" as buyers start to develop expectations.On to the next one!

I hope you take action.Look, I appreciate your perspective, but some of what you are suggesting is difficult because, well, it is a 1970's house, an extremely well maintained 70's house, but nonetheless....Bathrooms are really too small to get any perspective in, a picture would get a corner and not really impart any information, the reason my husband showed the one bathroom is because it is ensuite to the master, and the tub IS a perfectly preserved (and I mean perfectly literally, not a scratch or water stain) 1970's style one piece thing.

In my search I did find a few other smaller local banks that would do commercial style loans that were amortized over 20 years and rate reset every 5 years.

Depending on the cabinet style I will either replace the whole thing or put a new countertop on it and then a vessel sink on top of that to raise it.

This community has changed hands several times but the management style has stayed consistent  so the value of the homes have risen.

If the tenant qualifies, they get an electronic lease immediately, pay the security deposit and I cancel the rest of the appointmentsProcess I'm considering tryingList apartment on Wednesday Have all potential tenants show up at the same time for an open house style of viewingHave all interested tenants fill out a free application with income info and other basic questionsPick best from the list and send them a paid background checkIf tenant passes then send them a lease, if not, inform them and move on to the next bestAny input on these two strategies? 

We arent interested in older homes that have been broken up into apartments -- but rather apartment style buildings with 4-8 units. 

Life style changes?
