Hi there,Congratulations on your decision to purchase your first small multifamily property Here are some answers to your practical questions:### Cleaning Common AreasYou should clean the common areas regularly to keep the property tidy and safe.

One of the lease for a rental is about to expire and would like to change from single family to rent by the room and try, to market for regular leasing we normally go to Zillow and advertise for free, but for rent by the room not sure which of all the sites out there will be the best option(s), some of them are for free, majority pay a monthly or anual subscription ($99 to $200).Do you have any guidance on which to select?

I am new co-hosting and considering any programs or training to help speed things up and provide any key resources.

We will cover the story in detail, with regular updates, through to resolution. 

@Bracken Bjorn You will find a host of agents here that specialize in representing out-of-state investors.

My online license course barely mentioned regular mortgage financing.

You could point out that since it's a rental for the last 12 years, she will have some serious capital gains to pay with a regular bank-financed sale, and with your proposal, that tax will only come due after the balloon payment. 

I'm collecting more evidence from this lender and already connecting even more incriminating evidence and adding on more charges to these guys.If you or someone you know has EVER worked with any of these names, please reach out to me incase what you have might seriously help out my case and save other lenders, other attorneys, other regular people etc from being screwed. 

There will be title issues, probate issues, original seller not willing to close issues, appraisal issues, hard money lender issues, family says grandma not in her right mind to sell at 50% discount issues, termite issues, foundation issues, structural issues, can't get insurance issues, I don't have any money to move out issues, or a whole host of other problems.Well...every now and then you find someone that wants to dump one and it is a clean deal and they think because they are not using a realtor, they're saving 6%. 

So far, the only thing I've heard about is a local meetup that occurs monthly in Bay Shore hosted by @Kevin Myhre. https://www.instagram.com/libiggerpockets/Hoping to hear about an upcoming meeting soon.
