In a previous e-mail I told them they can park their bike in their vehicles parking space or purchase a light weight fold-up bike to carry into their unit.   

Once tenants achieve having a voucher, they tend to understand that they are responsible for the general upkeep of the home (i.e., cleanliness, basic landscaping for SFHs, holes in the wall, doorknobs broken, etc.).

Any advice is greatly appreciated, below are a few of the questions I am kicking around curious if anyone with experience can weight in:1.

Correct me if I am wrong but Joe Schmoe with no experience and no education can call himself a financial advisor.There is no governing body that administers the term 'financial planner' so I put litte weight into that title / profession, whether it is fee based / non-fee based. 

This is especially true if the property requires significant upkeep or if the heirs live far away.Owners of Distressed PropertiesSellers who own homes in poor condition and can't afford the necessary repairs may prefer to sell as-is rather than invest time and money into renovations.Landlords with Problematic TenantsLandlords who have been dealing with problematic tenants, frequent vacancies, or costly property damage might want to offload the property quickly to cut their losses and avoid further hassles.Owners Facing Major Life ChangesSignificant life changes, such as health issues, retirement, or downsizing, can motivate people to sell their property quickly.

This can be quite expensive. 3) Make sure you buy furniture with a high weight capacity. 4) This arrangement doesn't attract the best tenants.

Total rents increased by ~14% (weighted average).

You have solid assets, but you feel like you should be managing larger apartments that require way more attention, more management, more upkeep, and more annoyance.

I like my landlord just fine and there are zero issues on either side concerning payments, repairs, upkeep/cleaning, or anything else.

Now if he gets you by the hand and shows you how to buy with no cash and credit, and you are able to buy, then his snake oil is worth it weights in gold, but he will have many excuses his business is selling snake oil not real estate.
