It may be helpful for you to gently remind him why he is selling the property.

So im new to this whole thing of real estate investing, but reading the past few months and gaining some insight into the market. I saw a property, town home 3br 1.5 ba in Suffolk, VA, keep in mind I live in Northern...

You can buy a gently used one.

First post so please be gentle :)I'm currently located in Australia (an Australian national) and will be moving to Manhattan for work in March.

This can prevent two extremes: under pricing below market and over pricing and having an idle asset.I believe this method will provide a proxy rent strong enough to do deal analysis with, particularly in a well diversified portfolio.Let math do the heavy work and massage as necessary for finishes and how fast (or slow) the unit needs to be rented.

Pop the tile off by placing a rag over top of it and hitting it gently with a hammer.

Don't massage the numbers just to get a deal.

@Faith Burton I wish I could get a better look but from what I can tell the can got shook up, that traps bubbles in the varathane and they stay once applied if the can isn’t gently stirred to release them.

Turns out the water had been turned on at 10am today, and from that time until 4pm when the seller walked in and noticed, the toilet upstairs had been gently burbling over the top of the tank, running down to the floor, and finding its way into the basement.

And to be honest, there could be more but we are trying to be gentle with our tenants and not expose them to too much change too quickly (although some of it is unavoidable).
