My situation is this:  I am due to inherit some crop land soon and would like to get deeper into residential rentals rather than cash-renting the land. 

Another thing to consider: My mom is planning on giving me this property as my inheritance but was considering just gifting it to me before she dies.

To this point I have made my own money, I am not an inheritance guy.

For one tenant that had a cat (inherited tenant and the only cat I've allowed), I had to soak slab with enzyme cleaner, didn't work well, then soaked in vinegar, replaced subfloor boards upstairs, replace trim all around flooring -- it's a huge undertaking requiring multiple applications.     

~inheritance money can ONLY be used towards primary residence. 

I'm debating buying a 3 unit where the existing tenant in the top unit clearly smokes in the unit (cigarette in ash tray in listing photo). Do I ride him out and take the guaranteed money, then mitigate after he leave...

Considering an inherited property in Los Angeles that could be rented for $6,000-7,000 monthly, and with monthly trips to Phoenix amid a child custody battle, I'm interested in understanding the current state of the Phoenix house hacking market.If you have insights, experiences, or trends to share regarding house hacking in Phoenix, I would greatly appreciate your input.

With this particular property I inherited tenants as I’m sure you will and got my first tenant that has been fairly need and somewhat more difficult which has been a learning curve.

Note: We put to the side any buyers who have "bought" multiple properties but it turns out those were all transferred on the same day, since those may just be an inheritance or entity change.

I want to properly analyze a property that I have inherited using the Rental Property tool...but since I am not "paying" for the property, if I put $0 in for purchase price, then projected appreciation will not calculate since that is driven off the purchase price...any suggestions on how to get around this and get a feel for projected property appreciation within the tool itself?
