@Mike Conklin Been renting units for clients and for my own investments here in CT for a while and I have never had someone rent or not rent an apartment based on the type of cooking heating source.The quality of appliance may matter to a tenant, new vs beat up, stainless vs plain white, etc.I would say just go with whatever source you prefer and don't get caught up in what the prospective tenant will think.  

Tenants get divorced, lose their jobs, claim bankruptcy, get sick, etc...

Why not $2.5M in plain, boring, apartments?

I received an email on Monday from the property management company that I use in Spring TX.  States that tenants evacuated as water was coming in the front door.  They have as of yet been unable to get to the property...

I would try texting the listing agent - she's had this property listed on and off since 2008 and has been dealing with the short sale (what a pain for an agent) - she's probably sick of it, not making any money on it and has probably been fielding a million calls from completely unqualified first time buyers who want that area but don't really pay attention to the details and don't have any cash - I would be clear in your communication with her that you understand the requirements and have the cash to close - I've had transactions with her in the past she's been around for a long time.  

And cash-for-keys is expensive :)The primary issues are going to be your short window of time as well as just plain being a condo where association dues can cannibalize cash-flow.

Some even had to move to get the whole matter under control when their PM gets sick, bails, retires etc...Others have done awesome we can understand too and I get your point still. 

Anyways, real estate is a great career, I had a corporate job for 2 months and I already am sick of the typical 9-5pm job.

Dave - I too am interested but don't have the raw land development experience to fully jump in considering the wetland and flood plain issues. 

Hey everyone,My question is about a tenant of mine that might be getting pretty sick.
