Sounds like you have a good list of items to tackle.  

I consider them a form of spam.

I also had to tackle this challenge, and I think I've figured it out with one simple question:"How many investment units do you have?" 

Evictions can be expensive if you don's rent it to the right tenant, so do your due diligence and screen your tenants well.Save 10% (or more) of your monthly rent to Capital Expenses and you should be ready to tackle most issues that come up with out a charge card.Best Wishes,Dan

Hi Bigger Pocket Community,I am a new rehab-to-rent investor jumping into my first rental with a property located in South Jersey and I'm in the process defining our lease agreement before we tackle finding a resident.

(We decided not to do a formal lease; we have enough of a relationship by now that I trust him in a house we technically own for another week.)We are rehabbing our former home right now, but as soon as we finish working on that house, we'll tackle our beautiful new sub2 and get it on the rental market.So that's how it happened!

Here is the book's link: http://www.amazon.com/Shift-Estate-Agents-Tackle-Tough/dp/0071605266#reader_0071605266 Now if you focus onhelping the seller sell their home and preserve their equity dollars by selling on terms rather than for cash at a discount, you can get a win for you as the investor or agent, for the seller who is stuck, and for the buyer that has good income but needs time to get a mortgage.

If you see parts that concern you, like dirty spots leaning towards might be mold soon, you can try to tackle it by scrubbing with a bleach/water mix.

Long-term, I would love to amass 3-4plexes and commercial apartment buildings in the New Haven area and market them specifically to students (Yale/SCSU), but I don't think that's something I'm ready to tackle without more experience (and capitol).Anyways, if you got through all this - thanks for listening to me blab on!

Thousands in damage for $3 worth of copper...You're gonna have to wholesale it to someone willing to tackle that project.
