I'm only guessing.I would think that it would be pretty easy to discern what kind of repair was made.

@Clayton MobleyThank you for your kind words.

BUT, my business was built on being kind to tenants, and fair to owners.

Show them kindness and they may do it in return.My last tenants were in their 20s.

Let's see: You sell one property, and to avoid paying cap gains tax, you then reinvest those profits within 45 days into a larger "like kind" property.

Rules and restrictions, and traps that don't apply to any other kind of businesses, only the rental market.I think this puts the landlord on the defense.

@Sergio P Ramos in my area these types of training burns are still common.

Thats kind of the beauty of thes exchanges.. you get to reposition your capital, ideally in a property that ticks more of the boxes you need.Now, thinking about older buildings.. some folks underestimate how well older properties can hold up if they’re in a good location.

Hi Anthony-You asked about the best ways to find off-market deals for your in-laws to buy and move into and you are focussed on the Santa Barbara, CA area which I have been to and it is gorgeous.It kind of reminds me of an Ann Arbor on the ocean. :)Anyway, I like your strategy of driving and looking for houses in need of repair and sending handwritten letters and contacting rentals for the reasons you gave.
