So I guess you'd say he's becoming a mentor to me.We're both interested in getting into apartment deals and I am in talks with a realtor about a small complex from a older couple looking to retire.

It's a golden opportunity because my uncle is also willing to sell it to me for a small amount upfront, as long as I structure it properly so that he'll get the full value over time or gets made whole through the rental income once we have tenants in.

So I live near a small town that has a small community college, a Walmart, a Sheetz, and a couple other little places in it.

I just got a small check from ComEd b/c I used less energy than the budget plan had anticipated so it's probably more like $85/month.

Consider, Cost to turn the unit, cost to advertise, down time, and chance next tenant would be any better than this one.I think your late rent issue a few times is small compared to what you could end up with.M2M and let her ride. do rent increase in Spring so your chance of turn will come at better time for you.

And that will make 50 doors closed and pending for the year.I find a lot of small infill projects 1-12 doors for local builder/developers inside the City limits of Tampa.

We saw some small crack in the walls of a house we are interested in, but regular home inspection doesn't call out any red flags.

A small time operator, DIY guy, with a W2, if you had it back on the market within 90 days I would say you would be doing pretty well.
