Not too difficult but my only thought was if the names are formatted or spelled differently on different lists it may not be a perfect system but those are probably few and far between and done is better than perfect!

Turnkey is perfect for your strategy.

As an agent, it's more about getting as many calls as possible as opposed to finding that perfect seller.

Step back, slow down and start screening for the perfect tenant to take occupancy the beginning of April at the earliest, better yet the first of May.

William Brown thank you is all I can say, perfect timing!

Once you've gotten your feet wet, shadowed someone around and calculated your risks, borrowing money at a decent rate like a HELOC is a perfect way to finance your deals .Get creative in your financing, invite friends, family or anyone that has some trust in you to invest.

One thing you can do is set things up quarterly by the season.. makes perfect sense.Look water heaters, cooling systems, boiler systems,schedule filters on those systems to be changed or inspected.exterior roofs, siding, windows a good general inspection spring and falllandscape grounds, parking area's including trash areas at least 2 times a year for needed replacements or lot line painting, or pot hole fixing..You should get into the units for a quick look see at least 2 times a year.. if not, be sure and schedule one before you renew a lease to make sure the upkeep is to your satisfaction.Just don't replace all the stoves at the same time or fridges,, then you'll have them all die again at the same time.. do appliances as needed.. and save some $$ so you've got that covered. 

Good luck on the investigation,, as far as running any type of drainage.. we were cautioned at our property when we put the sump pump discharge hose to the front yard so water would drain into street and go down into the sewer grate.. we were told by city we couldn't do that and they suggested we put in a underground tank reservoir type thing.. basically all we did then was move the discharge hose to further point in back yard.. it was a flip house so we only had one season to deal with the issue.So don't do all the digging work and then find out you can't revert the water to the street and have to yank it all out.. if you do a drain tile type thing to edge of front property line.. water is funny you want to control where it goes but it has a mind of its own sometimes. 

I figure this is the perfect opportunity to take that leap of faith.

In my state the answer was made perfectly clear to me by the chairman of the real estate commission, who also happens to be my broker.....service animal is a service animal.
