We also made the yard look a ton nicer and longer-lasting by doing xeriscaping, planting, etc.

Hi all - I have a SFH with a modest yard, mostly well-mulched and with native plants that are drought-friendly.

Luckily for me the Tesla plant isn't too far from where I live in 78721 (East Austin).

Hi Todd,That's an attractive looking building.Find a good stable tenant, and possibly offer some of the build out needed (if you have to--you may not have to).Just from a first glance, some tenants that come to mind would be:1) Auto Insurance Office.2) Pizza shop, owner operator, take out and delivery only.3) Dental Office (probably with a repaint to tan with brown trim or etc...).4) Dry Cleaner, drop off and pick up, where clothes are sent to main plant elsewhere by truck.5) Daycare, with attractive fencing if outside play area and parking are both available.6) Local Government or local utility branch office for payments.7) Meeting hall for the town Elks, Moose, VFW, Masons, etc...8) Realtors office.9) PO Box Rentals.10) Co-working space.11) Local Trendy Coffee house.12) Office HQ for your local Democrat or Republican or other party.Good Luck!

Also a friend of mine only invests in mobiles his name is Adrian Smude, in Plant City, fl. 

Honestly , my attention is focused on holding properties in the Spartanburg area due the amount of colleges, close proximities to Miliken Plant, BMW, Adidas, sub contractors for BMW, Walgreens Distribution and so much more. 

It also backed onto a huge stone crushing/cement plant so fine dust, 5am diesel truck start-up noise etc was common BUT the 'buyers' loved it.

Michael Plante I haven’t exactly made a deal at 50k yet.

You'll find a lot of multis built in the late 1890s to the 1930s and those come with all the usual physical plant precautions - knob & tube, cedar pilings, ancient plumbing, etc.RPR is a good tool, but more than that, I'd be looking at Trulia's crime heat maps and MLS rental histories. 

It seems like you've planted the thought of selling in his head, so the longer you wait, the more likely he is to talk to friends and family, another investor, a realtor, etc.With that being said, when you do talk to him, be ready to get it under contract.
