In a nut shell I'm not sure exactly what he is expecting from me and I need some help to figure out what my worth is in this deal.

I definitely believe your work ethic will translate over and start to bear continual fruit for you.

Most are after the Low Hanging Fruit and screw the owner.

Complete nut.

Eating our own fruit, is a big kick.  200 pineapples in another 12 months.  200 Coconut trees producing in another 5 years. 

I’m a super rookie and looking into multi family homes but this market is nuts and the numbers don’t make sense for buy and hold.

The suggestion from another real estate investor who has seemed to crack the same nut is to move all addresses to where my tax address is (Kansas), have dad either add US phone in his home for me under my name or change his phone account name to my name; get utilities put in my name... 

A $450 increase is nuts.

Actually I do have the ecobee thermostat so this is a low hanging fruit.

@Will Gaston- I'm not telling you anything you don't know but there's very little low hanging fruit out there and you have to work to get them in different ways.
