Since my original post, I have already closed just under $1MM in real estate transactions and several Joint Ventures agreements.  

Probate property is property that a decedent owns individually at the time of their death that does not have a beneficiary designation or otherwise pass title by operation of law (jointly held propetty, property in trust, etc.). 

Maybe a good deal, so long as you have looked at other factors - it's not in a rapidly depreciating area, for example.Market value is really just a running average of numbers, constantly shifting.

I am constantly educating at this point to try to add to my tool belt!

For your situation unless you can heat trace it I would let the water trickle/run constantly through the pipes at those temps.

Do they complain about small stuff constantly?

So my choices still tend to be slim to none on quality tenants.These properties do constantly take my time dealing with late rent, hi turnover, breaking things that shouldn’t break, etc.

I'm sure you can find useful tidbits there if you search for episodes that are related to your interests.There is also a bookstore and constant webinars being held where you can continue to learn.You're definitely in the right place to gain information on REI!

Unless occupancy is constant, they aren't a great money maker anyway.

So now bring in the electrician to dig a trench and run new 220v cables from junction box to the pump EXCEPT by now the pool is disgusting because there's no pump clearing out the water... the city actually can charge a penalty for having a "dark" pool due to safety issues of a kid falling in and no being able to see the bottom...so, we had to drain the pool extra cost about $300 or so if I remember. 2)  So now after draining the pool, putting in the new pump with new wiring and re-filling the pool with thousands of gallons of water that isn't free (not too mention I live in CA with the drought and my conscience is screaming at me about the waste)...we find that the pool is constantly being re-filled by the "auto fill"...somewhere, somehow there's a leak and we're wasting even more water and money...so, I had to call in a leak detection specialist who thankfully found the leak at the filter and not in the actual pool itself...Another $1,500 in unexpected costs.So, long story short, fixing up the pool cost about the same as removing it, refilling with sod, getting a new fence but now we have a nice updated pool and it should help the value a little bit when we go to sell.
