He is the only unit with security deposit but no last month rent (because he is a friend of the ex-owner).The notification was not met with enthusiasm - not surprised, with a few email and text the tenant decided that he would like to renew.I sent over the new lease for his review and mentioned that I would like to have it executed by May 1, 2015, 30 days prior to lease expiration, and of course, collect the last month's rent when the lease is signed. 

I can relate to your enthusiasm for investing.

., then we'd advertise it for rent.In my enthusiasm as a new manager, I tried showing units while they were still occupied, thinking I'd make more money for the landlord.The problem is, that new applicants can't see beyond the current tenants' furniture, junk, mess, dirt, etc.  

To say this woman was thorough would be an understatement, and I really felt that her enthusiasm to chase dead beat tenants far outweighed her enthusiasm to rent houses.I think her advice was : get a judgement, get the deadbeat into court, get a court approved payment plan, and if they default get them thrown in jail for contempt of court.I'll try and get the url.

Dylan,I love the enthusiasm and candor.

Regarding the dishwasher, the easiest thing to do may be to just replace it, but I'll gladly consider any other creative ideas.Thanks for any advice, I'm scratching my head here and this experience is definitely dampening my enthusiasm for diving deeper into real estate investing.

I appreciate the enthusiasm!

Trust me, i get why you want to do it yourself, I just think a faster rehab to rent to refi will keep your enthusiasm up.

It's great to see your enthusiasm and eagerness to learn about real estate investing.
