You buy pieces of a market. 

You basically become a fractional owner in a large piece of property, such as an apartment complex or retail or industrial property.

Are the people that are moving into your properties signing leases without viewing the property, do you allow them to tour with current tenants, or is there another piece I'm missing?

The sketchy wood pieces in the crawlspace is your sign. 

However, the inventory is the piece that distinguishes different local markets from what I've seen in the Metro Atlanta area.https://www.realestatenews.com/2024/01/22/trends-2024-will-w...https://www.realestatenews.com/2024/01/19/inventory-tricklin...

If she is, it will work wonderfully.My last piece of advice is to buy a few books and learn to self-manage this one unit.

That last piece is why we are moving to real estate investing to replace our income... :)We are targeting sub 300k properties that are in the path of progress around here.

Here are a few things you should consider:Homes from the 1960s, if well-maintained, can be solid investments, but ensure the price reductions align with current market values and potential ROI.If not, it'll be like a buffalo taking a dump in your ear. 

I know the slanted walls are hard for that, but adding a few pieces where you can, and maybe a few artificial plants in pots would help warm it up.

The federal CARES Act requires a 30 day notice in certain evictions where the property participates in certain federal programs OR the property owner has a federally-backed mortgage.IMO, the CARES act is an unlawful piece of legislation that has poisoned America, but if the above clause is true, it is an OR statement.
