I think it's a wash financially but I learned a lot about home repair, finding deals and closing, selling homes, and being a landlord.

For example: Let's say you have 100K in cash and you could buy: a) (1) 100K house with cash - no mortgage - monthly rent of $ 1000 b) (3) 100K houses with 70K mortgages - monthly rental income $ 3000 - after mortgage payment net = $ 1000Sounds like it's a wash, but you'd have more work with 3 houses. 

If I paid her cash it would go towards assisted living, not inheritance so its a wash...The value of of the home is approx $140k which would be consumed immediately buying into one of the facilities.

If you keep a search on zillow, you can usually snag properties that are light rehabs (Interior paint, pressure wash outside, update landscaping, replace carpet) for about 30-35K.

Hi @Rochelle Gellineau ,I have the opportunity to meet with some of the local Pros on this forum and have been provided with a lot of advice.Here are some of the options I will be pursuing to get leads:Bandit Signs - I made 25 bandit signs and placed them around the East Valley Friday night and picked them up Sunday night.I got all my materials from a local home improvement store but had a tough time trying to get them to to stick into the hard phoenix desert landscape.So ended up trying to find places where there was a grass but that meant my signs were in places with traffic.I did not get any call backs.Lesson Learned - I will invest into getting my signs professionally done and possibly hire someone to put them out for me.I used a sharpie marker to write my message and it rained over the weekend so my message was washed away.Need to start working with a permanent solution to write the message.The second option I am using is Direct Mail, I bought list of 209 leads from list-source with a specific criteria and my plan is to mail to that targeted list using Click2mail.

Wash, Rinse Repeat until married or kids....then you change your strategy.

The math seems to be washing out between the condos and the multi families but I still have a ways to go to figure it all out. 

Rinse, wash, and repeat for the first 10, after that it gets trickier, but it is still a wining strategy.

When he came in to meet us to let us in for the inspection he was checking out rents in the area and realized how under priced he was. He

I wasn't able to talk to Neal until around 7pm that night at which time I told him how freaked out I was.  He
