However, I wouldn't touch a property as low as the price youve mentioned.

In this case, we tell the tenants we have two requirements, one as long as we don't hear complaints and the grass doesn't touch the house that become a liability for the building, and at the end of the lease they turnover the property with the landscape in the same condition as how they moved in, then however they want to maintain the lawn to maintain that standard, we don't care.

That said, Kensington (north of Lehigh) is another world that I dont touch even though I have a property just south of lehigh in east Kensington (still some zombies) but has stayed rented with great tenants and no vacancy for 5 years.  

Seeing them "graduate" out of the halfway house to a non-halfway house rental (or even a home) is the best feeling you can have.  

You still haven't touched the trust issue in regards to how confident the rest of the world will be in this new currency.

I tried early on to keep in touch but quickly was burned out by the volume of people I was getting.

I recommend that you build trust with local contractors first and starting with properties that are move-in ready or just need a little cosmetic touch-up.

My younger goes to UNT and older one (graduated) works for UNT.

My name is Dayton Bishop and I recently graduated high school and currently attend the college of southern Maryland.

I have two other rentals in the area and I use Alabaster by Sherwin-Williams for all my rentals to make paint touch ups easy, so I plan to paint this one the same.
