He expresses that he really really wants to stay and that his family loves the house, so I offer him right of first refusal to buy the place at market value in 5 months when his lease is up, on the conditions that he show proof of funds for downpayment and a preapproval from a bank.He says his credit is not so great from medical bills. 

I think the main reason a lot of these guys are going the HML route is because the lender doesn't like the FICOs they're seeing.Puking upon entering the house is often a sign you're walking into a winnner.Seeing a "cloud" of fleas hopping 6" off the floor is another, I used to see a lot of that in the late '80s early-'90s in Houston.Fresh sawdust and sheetrock dust from the chainsaw to the walls is good.A stack of "pink envelopes" from everyone from the power company to Columbia Records, to American Express means you've got a motivated seller.When the only furniture is a lawn chair and a couple of boards resting on concrete blocks, you've either entered someone's college dorm, or a divorced guy trying to hold on.

I don't want to transfer my properties away from my current manager, but he does not return my calls, and makes me feel like I am a bother when I express my concerns.I was so very pumped up to get into investment real estate, but now that I am having huge monthly payments for my taxes, mortgages, and insrurance, yet rarely am I getting rental income, I fear I am on the wrong path.If there are any property managers or investors that work in Hammond, Gary, Hobart, or Merrillville that could offer me an experienced opinion, I would be grateful.

An international bank or lender like JP Morgan Chase, or American Express may be good starting points for you.Feel free to reach out if you have questions.

The owner expressed he could sell me stock ownership in his property I am living at.

Two friends of mine (Friend 1 and Friend 2) have expressed interest in real estate and Friend 1 has the money to do so.

Renea, you created a similar thread where you explained your situation and I will express similar thoughts in this one.

I would have to charge that, then if I can find another tenant, I will refund everything back to her minus the days I lost rent.Now, she has a friend of a friend who has visited her and expressed very high interest to rent her place.
