All green where you're at, all brown out here. 90+ degree heat for about 5-6 months a year.

@Nick Brown Thanks for the information.

@Caleb Brown Another friend of mine who invests in real estate said the exact same thing so glad to hear it’s mutual.

Thanks for the reco @Corey Brown !

Great insight @Kevin Brown , I'm going through a similar problem right now and your post helped me out. 

@Greg Brown As Matthew mentions above, talk to your attorney to make sure you make this transition correctly and avoid a battle with these existing tenant.I would write down ALL of YOUR terms for renting this property specifically noting that tenants are required to have working utilities to their leased unit, required to notify you of any needed repairs (the broken window) and are to keep the property clear of clutter (scooter parts) plus anything else that you require.  

The ceiling immediately overhead was charcoal with rings in varying shades of brown radiating across the living room and into the kitchen.  

@Sheik Charles Brown-EL I had that same thought but then realized that you never know when something unexpected might come up and the seller needs cash fast.
