We make money in 3 ways with “buy and hold” properties…and cash flow is the smallest piece!

Every room has a few pieces of furniture/personal belongings.

You have an opportunity to buy a commercial real estate parcel, not a "piece" of real estate, unless it's fractional.I started investing in 1978 with very little money but I did have a credit card.

This is what I would do:OP- cut a piece of plywood, or something lightweight long enough to lay over the stairs (and just wide enough for her bike) so she can walk her bike up the stairs and into her apt. 

Using Facebook lead forms can streamline information collection.Door-to-Door Sticky-Note DeliveryI hired a woman to deliver my sticky notes, paying per piece delivered and offering a nice bonus for every home I purchased from the sticky notes.

I ended up hiring one of my LTR tenants as a house manager to handle all of the cleanings, turnover and provides my local eyes and ears.  

Or paint the perimeter cabinets in a warm white and accent the island in another darker color for a contrast that feels like it's a piece of furniture.Black Door Lever Hardware and Plumbing Hardware, Cabinet Hardware, Accents and Light Fixtures are a nice pop that feels modern and cohesive. 

Once you blowing them away with your asset manager skills, then move into larger roll in the organization...always ask for a piece of the equity on every deal, no matter how small.   

And that's the crux of it all; ALL these people and pieces have to go exactly "right".

They want to sell all of them at once, and not piece meal them out individually, so they are asking for less than market value.The offer is 6 homes 5 of which currently have renters, for $400,000.
