One tenant moved out giving me the ability to rehab theirs + raise What was the outcome?

I just moved a kid out last month after just five months in the rental because he was problematic.

If you do want to move forward with this property, one recommendation I would get is to find a local contractor with experience that you trust and have him advice you on the scope of work that may need to be done as well as the cost it would take.

We are just starting to research and plan for a move out to the southeast somewhere, still in early planning phase. 

However, prices on $1M homes haven't really appreciated all that much and we are looking to move to something much smaller near where our kids go to school. 

However, eviction must be by cause (i.e. you can never evict without a justifiable reason - so more or less you are stuck with a tenant unless they stop paying rent or breach their lease, or some other narrow units such as moving in or curing code violations - though then you have to pay relocation costs).

Really a MF deal is similar to a SF deal but there's more moving parts and more at stake if things go wrong.

I like his points about building a “team” and not actually asking people to be “on my team”.

Hey Chandler, I'm delighted by your presence.. how do you feel about building a team of trusted contractors?

Time for a team.
