My other debts include493 Jeep 530 housing and bills 73 phone(tried to lower they won't let me)74 insurance(as low as I can get)140 gas (looking into a bike)160 (approximately for food)350 debt(pay high to get it away faster)50 health care I think that is it.

One idea to make meeting tenants less painful is to hold "open houses" and have all interested parties come through during those hours.

@Karen Margrave advice is great, just take non refundable payment for upgrades and change orders up front which is painful for the client and when they do choose to go that route they are more likely to close.

So, renting it will offset some of the pain.

Maybe for some folks but 10k a month does not go very far when your paying your own health insurance have a car or two raise children put them through collage etc.   

I am 71-years old, and with the exception of a few months ago when I got a sciatic pain that is currently debilitating, I worked in the field just like one of my workers and I always have a young trainee at my side.

I would love to take my profits and invest in other markets like Lubbock but my two other jobs are a 5 hour car ride away from Midland and it's painful to think of adding another drive to the equation.

Living in Colorado Springs myself, I too feel the pains of finding local deals.

Each series of postcards/letters will be different in that it will be targeting different pains based on the list loaded and the series it is assigned to. 

It's listed by the PM who is a pain i.t.a. to deal with, they don't seem to understand cap rates, won't provide a TTM report (even after sending POF), and for my understanding don`t want the property sold, as they might lose their management contract (which they definitely would have if I bought it).If you do want to pursue it, make sure to get the actual income numbers.All the best, Stephan
