Prepare yourself for some push back but ignore and move forward.

Furnaces/ hot water heaters appear to be pretty newer, outside condenser units are 50/50 newer/ older.Some updates to units, only 1 washing machine in all 8 units!

Oh, and no regular bank or broker will lend to you on a commission income without two years of paystubs, so I’d highly recommend waiting to quit whatever regular job you have until you’ve purchased, or pushing your purchasing plans several years down the road.  

Keep on pushing! 

From what I've seen, they don't push RE investing since they can't get paid on it(unless they are licensed). 

It’s only a matter of time before the Boston gig is washed up.

Rent increases are a tool, if people are stable and provide benefits (like keeping an eye on the property) then maybe they get a slightly better deal, if I want them out they get the full increases as I am happy if they stay and pay and happy if they leave.I agree with @Corby Goade, do not be the landlord, be a employee of your own management company so you can be the middle person and not get all the stories and push back.

The only problem I have with this plan is I was hoping to be in my first property by 2019, but doing all this for him would probably push me back until 2020, but all in all, this seems like a good deal.My Question:I am coming to you guys/gals because I am curious of two things:1.

Pressure wash and paint.

Will this push you away or make you stronger?
