The Tenant can meet them there, arrange for someone else to meet them, leave a key under the mat, or leave the door unlocked.

I had a leasing guy ok with it but he wore a vest half the time, and had a 9mm gloc strapped to his hip at ALL times, and every time entering a unit his hand was on it like a cop doing a traffic stop. 

We have 7 years experience and proven track record, construction capacity to flip a few dozen or more a year, and we have funds to handle about 10 projects at a time, but we don't want to lose out on good deals because we are "strapped" for cash for the down payment portions. 

You will be strapped for cash in no time and lose all the homes you have invested with (or really bought from) this guy and they will be foreclosed on because the rents do not pay for expenses and you don't make enough to take it out of your own pocket of change.

I haven't seen it posted yet, but if this is 6 units on one parcel of land (with one strap number), the most important thing to know is that this is either a condo property or an apartment building and not exactly classified as "multi-family" in most states since it's considered a commercial building.Federal lending guidelines only consider it commercial if it's 1-4 units.If you are financing, your appraisal costs will be a bit higher as you'll be needing a general appraiser and not a typical residential appraiser.

@Mat O'Grady Do you have Ted's contact info?

My suggestion would be to buy a new 6K BTU unit for $200 and have it installed properly with safety strap (liability). 

My mother is pretty financially strapped, she has enough to get by but not enough to live how she would like to.

Here's how i got started in commercial real estate: 1) read 24 books on the topic2) listened to 400+ podcasts (starting with BP.com)3) attended meetups and starting learning the lingo 4) signed up for a couple coaching programs and practiced analyzing dozens of deals--- i share these^ points because i think it's important to remember that mentors are strapped for time. time is their most precious asset. they want to spend time with people that are coachable and committed to learning, aggressively. certainly don't need to go quite as overboard as I did with the content, but if you haven't started devouring content and practicing the skills... that's the place to start.
