Jarred I believe that he's trying to convey the property to you via a quitclaim deed.

I have a little jar on the vanity and have my cleaner set out 5 each turnover. 

Use a clean, clear, glass jar to put a sample in, and get it tested to protect yourself.

(with no uppers you could get by with a quart).

@Jarred Black I completely agree with venting the excitement.

At this point I would buy a quart of that color and maybe of the two runners up and bush a small section of wall to see how it works.  

Coffee: we get the gigantic cans from Sam's Club and then have our cleaners transfer it to a clear decorative jar so that it looks like fancy coffee when it's really just Sam's Club brand haha. 

That way it's not too jarring and is easier to digest and prepare for.

The only way I can get something to pencil is by removing the quartly equity return of 8% equity return and only paying the % of cashflow and sales to the investors, say 50-60% on cashflow and sale.

Figure out your process and/or hire a property mgt company, crunch your numbers and determine if it makes sense for you.Keep a running list of things to make life easier for a landlord when you see it... for example, same paint (and give tenants a quart), show them how to change filters, and "bulletproof" your investments (I do tile floors on slabs if possible, seal every crack, get rid of dishwashers and garbage disposals, get rid of screen doors, encourage tenants to email through your system for needed repairs (I use Buildium) so those $10 fixes don't become $500 dollar fixes.
