Leaves an immediate bad impression.Entry Door: This seems silly but make sure your front door opens and closes easily without the need to play around with the door. 

I work closely with one here in CA where I found him working on my investment property's neighbor's house.

If you close to the university, I might give them a call and see if they have a database that they use for places for visiting professors, etc can stay.

Without having much info, I would need to know the financial situation of the 'close family' to determine a best approach.

People realize they are not going to get 1/3 of value whether it takes a month or a year because of holding and closing costs.

I mean I think about it a lot now that we are closing in on 70.. but hey 70 is the new 50 :) And different cultures handle this far differently than others.. this is why you see some new builds catering to multi generational floor plans..

A colleague recently closed on a 12-unit property in San Antonio and shared that a 6.8% cap rate, combined with lower property taxes, made it a no-brainer.

There are a LOT of operators that are scrambling at the moment, and dont come close to our buy-box, however I do invest with 3 larger operators (BAM is one of them), and overall I still believe their underwriting is sound and viable.Im not at liberty to discuss details, however I see some good things on the horizon with this group.

I must second what Account Closed stated.

I hope it passes inspection but it is going to be close from what I can see.
