I have a auto body shop that is located in a D class residential area, it was own by my grandfather, he is getting up in age and he is passing it to me. he hasn't done body work in years, he just have been renting the place out to some guys he know for like $220 a month. the utility are still in his name also. my whole idea is to come in, change things around, do the proper things, have a actually lease agreement written out for the tenants, with the new rate increase and rules, there wont be anymore of the late rent payments, there will be a late penalty, the utility will be in the tenants names,I plan to put a security system on the property, I'm new to all of this , its my first property I'm open to advice, suggestions, ideas on what I should do.

Good networking with other newbies like myself as well as those of various levels of experience, those with and without non-REI day jobs, those looking to buy, looking to sell, or just looking for solid info.  

Thanks for the info @Ron S. and @Blair Poelman I was just wondering more from a buyers perspective, mainly on what you have pointed towards @Blair Poelman . 

You need a warranty deed to buy or sale at full price.Is there any additional info you can find on the tax assessors website about the property?

I have attempted to do so, but it can be difficult once I tell someone my age! 

Any info is appreciated. 

@Josh Anderson thanks for the reply and the info!

We just kinda butt heads when trying to actually teach each other anything... haha It's ridiculous, but it is a thing.She has been fine with us listening to BP podcasts, so she is getting some info there.

Great thanks for the info.

Any info or point in the right direction would be helpfulThank you!
