Welcome to BP Joe,I was in your shoes less than a year ago and am closing on my first deal tomorrow.The best thing I think you can do while accumulating your reserves is build your knowledge.

It's a valid question that I would probably ask if I were in his shoes.

Ok, so I am pursuing a motivated seller that has three properties he wants to get rid of BUT when I look at the tax information for the properties, its listing them as storage spaces.

Purchase Price $101,900.00 Number of Bedrooms 3 Number of Bathrooms 2 Car Storage 2 Car Garage Estimated Rent Range $925-$1,025 Rent Amount for Calculations $1,025.00 Estimated Annual Property Taxes $1,532.00 Estimated Annual Homeowners Insurance $900.00Estimated Annual HOA Dues $0.00 Estimated Annual Vacancy Expense (5%) $615.00 Estimated Annual Maintenance Expense (5%) $615.00Estimated Annual Management Fee (9% and Lease Fee) $1,448.67Year Built 1976 Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Be aware that it's entirely possible that your partner may not perform to your expectations, requiring you to step in and fill his shoes.

Not only too many units empty, but several actually used for junk storage.

He had two units that werent rented on the building we were working on and he explaining how he wanted to build a 6 bay on the other side, but he wouldnt even start thinking about that until this one was fully rented. 5 minutes later a guy shows up and rents the last 2 for him and buddy to work on cars together. 10 minutes later a renovator shows up wanted to rent 3 units because he has like 9 mini storage units rented and they are not near each other and it makes his life difficult.

I'm not sure if Desmond is in the same shoes as me.

(Inspired by this post: http://www.todayshomeowner.com/painting-wood-floors/ )Not sure if it would show dirt from shoes more easily though.QUESTION 3: What do you tell your tenants to use to clean it?

The home had a 10'x20' storage building that was full of trash bags and loose trash.
