I already know that a clean nice lit storage area would be a great upgrade, and we plan on doing that to the basement, after we paint over the graffiti/etc  https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/...I appreciate it! 

Fix the roof, stay here and sue the city to revoke the section 8 rentals license (the details are for another thread, but I think I could make a cogent case as many neighbors view the house as a nuisance and the police have told us they KNOW who they are…).

I think one detail I left out was I would be trying to pay more than the mortgage required at times (I work in sales, so if I ever got a large paycheck I might toss more of it at the mortgage).

But without more details it's hard for me to know how to help :)

I just gave them all my requirements, price range, west of Indianapolis, good schools and near hospital if possible, then checked address on neighborhoodscout.com to double check all the details of the area.

It's a wonderfully informative book explaining in detail our situation of investing in a distant market.

 @Abigail Santamaria can you PM @Alicia Marks and me with the details of the person?

I am also trying to account for the eventuality that he could trash the place or a major capex item comes up while he is living rent free.Do you see other alternatives to structuring the deal where I shift liability and also reduce holding cost?

I have some contacts in AL if you can give me some details.

My company manages multifamily communities (100-300 units) nationwide and we would like to start performing detailed, onsite property inspections that include an interview with the onsite property managers.
