Quote from @Tangie Pate: Has anyone purchased the Lee Arnold System and used his pre-trained virtual assistants? 

Think of it like buying an existing performing business.

Quote from @Isadore Nelson: I recently acquired a property with an existing tenant who has been living there for about four years.

Can anyone recommend a good property manager that covers Modesto, CA? 

It sounds like they covered 1/2 the upgrade.

You can use this property to hedge any others that you add that may only cover themselves, or require supplement until they are paid off.HOWEVER, if you have decided that your goal is to use Real Estate as a stepping stone to build wealth by upgrading the property you hold each time (condo to house, house to 4-plex, 4-plex to 8 unit, etc) then I think you are right to sell now while you think the property is at the top of it's appreciation.It will be hard for anyone on BP to tell you what to do as we don't know your goal.You are right. 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

Just got off the phone with the zoning guy and he said since both of my lots pre-date the zoning regulations in the city, they're grandfathered in so-to-speak, which means I am able to build a single family on each one!

They're offering 5% for 20 years, no pre-payment penalty and the only cost is $2,100. 

I have a one page lease addendum to cover this, that is executed with every tenant and every lease.
