I don't know if anyone could move furniture upstairs.

We also prearrange for storage at a nearby storage facility.The sheriff approaches the property first, determines if there is anyone inside, posts his legal document then steps aside and stands guard as our locksmith gains entry and changes the locks (some landlords to the locksmithing themselves), our movers start moving furniture to the van and we pack up everything else in boxes and bags.

@Samia BinghamSamia - Would you be able to elaborate any more on the present setup you are involved in/have the option to purchase.This type of investment interests me quite a bit as locally it seems to be a niche that could be filled, I'm sure plenty of other locales this works in as well besides established markets.What I'm interested in, are rents paid (if you know the ranges possibly) roughly the space someone gets for the rent, what perks they get -- is there coffee, virtual receptionist -- how is the office decorated/set up - any furniture supplied by landlord, can you pay online, terms of leases, bathroom set up -- do the tenants have to pay for web access or utilities, housekeeping, any fights/spats between neighbors, what type of tenants make up the mix.Really any insight from your experience would very much be appreciated.  

The property is also appreciating in value so that’s a plus.When you came up with the $13,000 carrying costs, did you factor in maintenance costs such as new furniture, paint, toilets, bathroom/kitchen faucets, etc?

This has always stuck with me and to this day I buy good leather shoes and shine them myself.

I am concerned that the tenants could put furniture too close to it and cause a fire.

She asked to repaint the interior to match her Tuscany furniture...I said no problem, we both go to Benjamin Moore and pick out & agree on a color, I go hire a contractor and get a quote.

It could be a TV, furniture, a vehicle or real property.

Use whatever you have first before buying more food, clothes, furniture etc.

I usually find it easier to rent something that has furniture in it because they see how they can arrange furniture and the furniture may hide some of the blemishes...
