My strength is more in finance, renovation management... the non-tenant end of the business.

I was only making $44,000/yr when I got out of school with a relatively small student loan payment and I bought a 2 year old Infiniti coupe, no credit history at 4.49% with BOA.

I graduated with a bachelors degree in finance from PennState.

A good tenant takes should be classified as one that is doing everything right not most things right, my advise is if you're new to this to start setting your bar a bit higher which will make your life infinity easier over the long run. 

I would hate do drag you through court, prison time, and you paying hundreds of thousands in fines.

Dude, it's in fine shape, if you want a beautiful craftsman lodge you're going to need to look elsewhere.People looking at a couple of 2-bedroom apartments I have:1.

If you're off by just pennies in the way of interest, they can hit you with several thousand dollars in fines.

My first investment I bought to live in, finance from Chase, I moved out 4 months later.

In brief here's the guidelines I would say are paramount:Class A Properties: these are very fixture and marketing specific and require an advanced skillset and market knowledge so if you are buying a Class A fixer upper it's a different discussion entirely - I am assuming you are not working with that property type.Class Bs: In fixing a Class C to a B or renovating a Class B you want to work with the aspirations of the buyer - they want the Class B to look as much like a Class A as possible so my earlier point of choosing one Class A feature applies - infinity pool, paved lanai, feature wall, upmarket appliances etc.
