Thomas S. ate nails and newby landlords for a light snack.

@Matthew C DominyI tend to see everything in the best of light so you shouldn't worry about that.

If they were light smokers, you may be able to wipe everything down, clean the carpet, and run an ozone machine for a day or two and remove the odor.

Look at the outdoor lighting count the number of lights.

I’m willing to bet you went “heavy” on wholesale / flipping / marketing education and very light or not at all on real estate principles, real estate finance, and real estate law.  

I’m at lunch at work and my wife is getting out of a yoga class and I call her and she’s like, “I have no idea what’s going on.”We’re trying to interpret the pictures and some of these are just like a picture of the microwave, a laptop on the floor, a vanity light with one bulb out.

Very good lighting inside&out (on a timer), plus motion activated lights as much as possible/appropriate (they make super bright LARGE led ones, even solar now so don't need to be hard wired). 

Last year was light too.  16% occupancy this year vs. 38% in May last year.We haven't adjusted our rates to race to the bottom because we're financially healthy. 

. $30k is a bit light on the dollar amount to invest in a syndication.
