New paint, maybe hiring a designer, adding any new amenities that might bump you to the top. 

Anyone have experience partnering with a fist time home buyer/low income partner in CA to add to your portfolio?

I hope you'll understand and if you can find a house of this caliber that is listed for less than what I am bumping you up to, then please bring it to me and I am willing to listen to what you find because you have been such a valued tenant to me over these past 7 years"

If I go looking for my own information, I usually just bump up against a bunch of people or companies that lie to me to rip me off.

If you're just buying the building the building and leasing it to an operator, your list of things to do and potential bumps in the road are somewhat reduced, but either way, proceed slowly and methodically, especially if this is your first RAL.

Since you are only doing face time viewings I am not sure of the cadence you are doing these but I would bump that up to be as frequent as possible if going physically is not feasible.

I have several apartments in a SDIRA and will be bumping into RMDs in about 3 years.

I would maybe bump that up to 10% to be safe.

From what I've been told all the condos in the building are put into a rotation, when you unit is rented you get bumped to the back of the line and then rebooked.

Renovating it the way "you like" might cost $8k but only get you a small bump in rent and maybe only $5k more in home value.
