If you cannot, get the tenants a couple of window AC units at $500 each, and tell them the central AC is broken and it is not possible to repair it at this time. 

I would have phoned the utilities to let them know the place was being sold and the closing date.

Many don't pick up the phone past 5pm or before 9am, don't work on the weekends, only push files in and do not really review them, and are difficult to get a hold of. 

They seem like good people on the phone. 

We started taking the Houston phone book which was huge and by category and just flip pages and put our finger down without looking for a selection. 

@Spencer CuelloVanamor Investments - We provide mostly 506b offerings which allows accredited and non-accredited investors but non-accredited investors need to be what's considered sophisticated so we'll typically look to build a relationship first through phone calls and meetings so that we can assess the suitability.

From there I went to white pages to get phone numbers and started calling owners.

My availability is not the same as everybody else's, so being told to man the phones is quite difficult.

All you have to do is make a compelling point for them, and having a broken property that they don't want to fix can be a reasonable one.Anyway, allow me to give you a couple of points to think about.Downtown LA has been suffering because of the working-from-home shift and the effects of the homeless.

This means the current tenant pays the broken lease fee, and that’s it!
