Good luck and enjoy  making money on 2 properties that go up in value  80,000 - 125,000 per year. 

I'm debating buying a 3 unit where the existing tenant in the top unit clearly smokes in the unit (cigarette in ash tray in listing photo).

I'll just take some chips off the table periodically and enjoy without them.

Then sue the neighbor for an injunction against playing the radio or whatever between certain hours and to keep the dog from barking.Doing nothing risks your tenant leaving on the grounds that your doing nothing breached his right to quiet enjoyment.

It’s possible I did a poor job of explaining this, this isn’t really a service for investors per se’ in fact I would probably in an ideal enjoy doing this more for primary home buyers, this to me is an alternative to the 2.5% commission model, you cut out the most time consuming and often in my opinion least valuable part of the job which is showing people around and opening cabinets and seeing if they are soft close or not lol (I presume in this new world there will be more open house, more showings by listing agents, possibly more services that allow buyers to show themselves houses like the Redfin does on some of its listing) because of that plus the guarantee of getting at least something for your time allows you to theoretically charge much less while still providing the important parts of the job, like you should consider this area, let’s go over this home inspection repost, here’s how we should craft an offer etc, even spending time explaining rent vs buy calculation and personal finance etc, plus the being able to be paid regardless of your advice, I’ve had countless clients who has just a myriad of bad ideas I’ve talked out of, but of course you don’t get paid for that in this commission structure.

Upon return of the property, it was clear they had been heavily smoking pot inside. 

I mean, if you’re like me and don't like to drink, drive, fly, eggs, enjoy reading by flickering candlelight, and prefer living in a tent in your buddy’s backyard (I actually did this in college) then you are good to go.

Many listing agents do not enjoy working with investors who call them directly since investors.... want to undercut the market!

@Drey Taylor We had a tenant fall asleep with a pot of grease on the stove in one of our properties, and burned the entire kitchen down along with causing significant smoke damage to the rest of the property.

If you are like so many empty nesters who would like to enjoy a vacation home which can double as an investment property (perhaps somewhere warm) there are plenty of Floridians here who can help!
