Adding some artwork to help give the place more character - $100-200 on Etsy or Society6 can get you some really unique prints that will help your apartments show well in listing pics and really set them apart from the competition.If you have the space outdoors, the quickest and easiest amenities to add are a fire pit and BBQ grill (or maybe a patio as well, if you're so inclined). 

Ironically, it is a much safer neighborhood than the one next door with a "lower crime rate".

There is way too much exposure for you to keep assets in your personal name.Have iron clad insurance for myself as a landlord. 

BBQ?

Glad to have reps on BiggerPockets from the company in order to get in potential kinks ironed out ahead of time for a successful closing.

The $10M goal is cumulative for me, as I have other irons in the fire besides RE which I'm not looking for advice on from this forum, and I regret posting that $. 

If your in Portland check with Iron Bridge you can tell Richard there I referred you..

I do think I need to iron out having the right team in place as that is the advice I most often hear. 

And ALSO...I still want to see what they define as "Marketing a property".If I organize a BBQ party with all my friends that so happen to be on my buyer's list and during a bear dad joke I say " Ohh btw guys, I just locked up a contract want to see it?" 

My buyers were sophisticated entities that would lawyer up to stall a foreclosure, but not sophisticated enough to challenge the conveyance method ironically.
