Step 1.....see if the title is clean.  

I’m thinking that we should clean up her credit, put 20% down on a multi family unit ( she doesn’t want to live in a duplex, triplex, etc can’t use fha 3.5% 😕) and rent the units.

The ability to come up with alternative options in a crunch is imperative in this business.I know you received some harsh comments above.

Most clients aren't interested in any/all of those options, so it's important to provide more detail.Hopefully, this didn't come across too harsh.

I might wait til tenants are gone and you did a clean up though.

I fix things, do upgrades and do my best to bring new tenants into the building who will follow the rules and not cause disruption to the other tenants.We've all noticed recently the media (in general as well as social media) seems to enjoy giving attention to the bad landlords (mainly the harsh letters some landlords are mailing to tenants) and that certainly isn't productive however the media/social media often tends to enjoy broadcasting negativity.

The estimate for the current (before virus) market (with clean title, of course ) was $18000.

We contacted family members who emptied and cleaned the apartment.

(You won't find it)Sorry if I sound harsh or critical but starting out you're career in anything including Real Estate means getting your information from credible sources.
