If the junk was cleaned out it would probably look a lot better.

That's OK I can live with that.So its a very clean operation, and the tax bill is very manageable.

This time, I had a camera clean out to really find out what's going on.

Utilize open houses and door knock regularly.

With that said, if you go regular FHA the house needs to be near perfect.

Takes just a minute to set new codes and can easily create codes for maintenance/cleaning/delivery people and then see when they arrive.I also put lockboxes at each property for the rare case where batteries may die or power is out.You can get them on Amazon or on eBay and are often on sale.

Most of my markets generally prefer clean and modern compared to all original restored.

Also, since you say, it is 3 bldgs of 4plex each, you may want to see if you can get 3 individual loans as regular mortgages rather than a commercial loan for higher interests.

We have regular meetings in the Alton area, Belleville and way down in Marion.

For me it's all about having a great cleaning person/crew.Homeaway and Airbnb make it easy to keep an up to date calendar, accept payments, refund security deposits.Then nice to have are automated locks (I still use a lockbox), security cameras, wifi thermostats.You need great pictures and descriptions, you need to be responsive to inquiries and issues.You need a great location so that you have demand at your property.I think this is the Cliff Notes version.Take up Lucas Carl on the phone call.
