Her husband is on lease still, if I give him x days couldn't he just go take all valuables in that time frame it just sucks because I can't separate them from the apartment because apartment is full of stuff, basement is filled and garage is filled, like I said he is having a dumpster dropped off Tuesday,, so I'll have to allow access

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

Meet fellow investors in your area and build relationships with them.

Demoed the house, will be building a new house on site.

Your best route might be to buy a 2 to 4 unit property that you can live in and rent out the additional apartments.
