Here's what I did for ours: http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/apa/1969279795.html (Ironically we leased ours to someone who just drove by and saw the sign, but we got lots of interest from MLS showings).Good luck!

If anyone can put me in contact with a PA contractor or company that has experience with basement work, I'd really appreciate it. 

I also use a PA to market properties off MLS.

Save $300- $600 a room and man up and do it.  U

I just signed a PA to sell my house and should have another one on contract soon for me to move into.  

You may need a PA attorney depending on what you are doing. 

congrats keep it up; before u know it u might own the whole block!

I take it a realtor isn't helping you out.. with a PA purchase agreement,, you request more than just seeing the tenant's lease.. you should want the last 2 years of tax documents showing income and expense report on this rental property, rent roll, copy of lease,amount of security deposit, and of course to view property condition. your Due diligence period to inspect and verify what seller has represented is now up to you to verify and confirm and ask for corrections in within you inspection period. 

Is that a PA thing that even if he sold his house to you that its still part of his estate if he falls ill in the next five years?

As a PA, In some states we need a Physician to supervise our practice.
