I would also suggest doing something about a water dispenser on the fridge not working.

It helps if you have verifiable past landlord references.I suggest using a service like Mayistay.

I suggest contacting an RE attorney who can assess your options.

If she wants paid for canceled appointments, then I would suggest you look for a new cleaner.My policy is to keep all funds if the guests cancels within two weeks of their stay, unless I'm able to rent to someone else for the same period/rate.

One on beds, one being laundered, and one clean set in the closet.Not sure about the infrastructure in that market but I did not see it suggested you use a commercial laundry. 

My suggestions would be in this order:(a) Determine the type of financing you qualify for - this will short cut the process considerably and save time on investment angles and next steps.

For the immediate time, I'd love any contractors and handymen suggestions, but eventually, to work with agents to buy and sell in the area. 

It suggests that you should aim to pay no more than 70% of the ARV (after-repair value), minus repair costs.Example: If the ARV is $300,000 and repairs cost $50,000, you should pay no more than $160,000 for the property. ($300,000 * 0.70 = $210,000 – $50,000 = $160,000).Walk the Property: Check for structural issues, roof condition, foundation, HVAC, and plumbing.

Many Realtors will suggest purchasing a property using a FHA Loan, to reduce your out of pocket money.

Any recommendations or suggestions on how to navigate this?
