[I’m assuming I would be dealing with basics (communication, marketing etc.) as well as maintenance and cleaning.]Thanks again! 

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

If the inexperienced investor knew how much work, effort, time, analysis, negotiation, organization, capital, and knowledge it takes to successfully find, identify, evaluate, and close on a property that fits the criteria that gurus falsely claim they see 100’s of every day, 99% of them would abandon their real estate dreams” and pursue ostrich farms, mink breeding, or setting up a “down line” to sell condensed cleaning products that their “upline” has an exclusive distributorship on for the southwestern quadrant of Bisbee, Arizona.  

The place we rented was clean and well kept, and the only change we felt was the absence of our father, and change of residence.

America needs your management style - take responsibility, fess up, come clean and do the right thing.

When we pointed it out to Hilany, she said that was due to getting people over there, coordinating assemblers, setting up the furniture, cleaning up and throwing away the material, etc.

But with the midterm I did not have to worry about turnovers, scheduling the cleans, and stocking the home.

Account ClosedI received the Engineering Report, ultimately once it cleaned out will be able to better see what i'm working with as it relates to the flooring.

Spoke to our lawyer, posted the necessary documents to confirm it was abandoned property and went on to have it cleaned and a Section 8 tenant moved in.My question is, I hear everyone talk about cash for keys, cash for keys, cash for keys.

I allow pets with a pet fee and have a cleaning fee, tenants change out every 3-6 months on my MTR usually.
