Kent,On Lighting, the new LED outdoor lights can save on energy while increasing the amount of light delivered.

Stay healthy, stay away from bad people.Some ideas to find the deals:walk/drive neighborhoods, look for neglected propertiesadvertise, newspapers, radio, pass out flyersWrite a nice letter to landlordsWhen housing court starts up again, meet landlords there - chatCall and visit owners of Expired Listings - make offersBuild a relationship with a few Realtors, offer to pay them a fee (3-5% of purchase price for unlisted buildings) for presenting your offers to FSBO's and expired listings (auto pilot investing) The purpose behind this is to open negotiations with sellers, I always offer well below their asking price BUT IN WRITING hand delivered by an agent (you save time, cost of gas and you increase the odds of finding a fat equity deal)Study Real Estate Control techniques; delayed settlement, assignment clauses, all types of options, hybrid or JV with sellers, repair consideration with possession (known as front porch offers) use one of the 21 proposals for seller financing (the best highest leverage financing you can get)My LOCK-DOWN has proven to be profitable, I have time to network and develop clients nationwide to mentor/partner transactions.

I dream about having a team that provides the things I can't, and yet still delivers me good returns on investments, but am not sure if this is realistic.

The title on the document may vary depending on the location and situation, but basically it is a letter delivered to you or posted on your door that asks you to fix a problem or leave the property.

Good question @Ben Van Roekel At the start of a big project, I try to get the materials delivered on sight.

You just want to strongly encourage the tenant to comply with the lease.For the new tenant, you need wording in the lease that if you cannot deliver the unit at the agreed date due to issues outside your control including prior tenant refuses to leave or repairs need to be made, both parties can agree to extend the move in date or the new tenant can choose to terminate the contract.

A little bit of background info - all units in fourplex have garages, are 3-4 bedrooms, and delivered vacant.

Average rent in the area is around $1200 maybe $1300/mo if I update the kitchen.The property is being delivered point of sale free with a home warranty so shouldn’t be any money in repairs unless tenants move out right away.What are your thoughts!?

Once again, congrats on having a potential deal delivered to you!

I would check around.We've had a lot of special order windows so we went with a manufacturer & they delivered them all.
