If it's completely trashed just fill it with concrete?

If there is no probate file the last resort will be to pull the death certificate, Whomever filled it out will be your 1st point of contact.Here's the link: http://kernpublichealth.com/death-certificates/Good luck @Matt Owen

He gave me a Jan-June 2016 rent roll (not certified), he showed the best 2 units and said they were all like that except for the tenant who has been there for 10 years as they haven't updated that one, he filled the last 2 of the 3 vacant units so it would be 95% occupied when I bought it, he was going to take care of the brick work in the back (seemed minor from a glance), and that he was selling this because his wife was pregnant and they were buying a house.  

Follow the lease in regards to the dog (and anything else)- if your lease says no pets, fill out the appropriate paperwork to get the dog (or her and the dog) out. 

+To make the transition easier, I may make the first 3-6 months 50% less to give them time to fill the property and reduce their risk

I was going the hard money route because of the cosmetics + getting the vacancies (about a third of the units) filled.

Recently (yesterday) closed on a two family, I have a few possible tenants already, I would like to have potential tenants fill out application.Does anyone have a link to an effective, simple to use application?

I've heard of people trying similar things, you'll likely still run across people who don't read the rules and use the kitchen whenever they please, hell I have my check in and check out time posted on the listing, within the welcome message and on my welcome pamphlete and people still ask me what time they can check in and check out.If you're going to block out the kitchen from use then that is certainly possible, however, a home that large is a benefit to typically families, and they will more then likely want to cook which is one of the main reasons large units do so well as vacation rentals because their niche isn't easily filled in any other hospitality alternative.

It fills in all the low spots of the grain to give a very smooth finish.

For rent sign in front of the propertyThis is the only way I advertise and never have any problems filling a vacancy.
