Thanks guys, we have plans to paint the exterior trim, paint the gutters, paint the steps and do some landscaping work as well as take a fence down that isn't shown in thr picture.

I think you should take a look at this if you already haven't, it walks you through all the basic steps of acquiring real estate and how to manage property.

My next step would be going to a lawyer to help draft a lease but wasn't sure if anyone had any advice.Thanks-Andrew

Good move Darish on stepping up and firing this guy.

Also a realtor told me its illegal to profit off of people by stepping them through the loan mod process, I think perhaps thats just for realtors though...I got someone whos done dozens of these home mods if any of you are concerned, I say this because I know theres always someone who will jump on you lol...If theres no regulation, how would I charge for the service?

If you don’t know what happens at a foreclosure auction or Sheriffs Sale, the investors line up outside the property or at the courthouse steps.

The property is a duplex about 30 steps to the beach and 1/2 hour from downtown Tampa.

Third goal our combined salary.....Baby steps are key along with knowing that things change and adapting to your new priorities.

As far as I can tell, the only thing I didn't have that they did was the courage to take that first step.
