You aren't prepared to go "all in".So, no money, no willingness to convert equity to money, leaves him with nothing he can do for you.

Your tenant sounds like a good tenant otherwise, but you should be sure that your jurisdictional rules changing from a term to M2M do not change in a way you are not prepared to handle.

And I’ll let you in on my experience of 40 plus years in real estate, and having personally met many of he older time gurus; take away the slick presentation (prepared by a marketing firm in either Las Vegas, Nevada, or in Provo, Utah), the “glamour” shot appearance makeover, the unsubstantiated resume and personal history, and the buzz words and motivational bs, and what you’re left with is most times a salesman/marketer and NOT someone who has had much if any success investing in real property.   

Hi BP,In preparation of talking with a local realtor about a triplex I found, I wanted to know in addition to the below questions, is there anything else I may want to ask?

From there call the sec8 authority in that area and ask if they need more properties, and prepare for the laugh.

Besides the constant maintenance problems you at times have to consider what happens when the ref goes out for a few days and spoils the tenants food. 

You need to be well prepared to do fix&flip model.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

It sounds cheesy, but the best way to prepare is to work with a friend or two and role-play.

So when you go you will be better prepared.You may also get to see some attorneys and if you decide to hire one, you will see which ones actually go to court, which ones are prepared and worth their money, etc.
