When one of tenants in common dies, the remaining one automatically becomes the sole owner.

@Harrison CookYour post kindles lots of questions.In the "good old-days" most heating systems were vastly oversized for the building they were heating - energy was relatively cheap, insulation was non-existant to poor ... so it was easier and safer to {drastically} oversize.Today, while energy {in North America}  is still relatively cheap for the moment,  we have a much better understanding of how to make buildings more efficient {though you might not think so looking at the construction industry in the U.S.A. and Canada}  and there are often more cost-effective measures than simply replacing an old, over-sized heating plant with a new, over-sized heating plant.You really need to - or at lease should -  perform a heat load analysis to properly size your heating system, a component of which, is determining the rate of heat loss of the building envelope.  

I'm super busy with work and normal life stuff, so I'm not on BP that often.

Most often it is a 30 day notice but some may require 60 days . 

It's quite often today that I see advertisements on TV, billboards, or signs on the side of the road stating "I buy ugly houses" or "I buy homes with cash fast."

That’s often easier said then done but that’s gonna be your best bet.

It is a VA loan, which I read is more often assumable than a traditional loan, but as far as my specific case, I don't know. 

Start by saving, you technically can invest with no money but it will often be riskier and lower quality properties, it is usually better to just save, especially if you want to purchase rental properties as Rich Dad, Poor Dad implies is the right strategy.

——————I’ve purchased hundreds of multifamily doors and have interviewed dozens of other apartment investors on my podcast and will attempt to share some of what I’ve learned over the past 10 years:1) Loopnet has some great opportunities hidden within that junk. 2) you need to underwrite about a hundred opportunities to find one that truly works anyway so don’t be afraid of Loopnet3) commercial brokers are a great way to start but if you’re new... they are only going to give you garbage... no better than Loopnet 4) is recommend if you went the route of brokers that you’d want to have 3 brokers per sub market and you’d want to contact each of them often.5) nothing is “gigantic out of range” everything is obtainable via strategic partnerships6) quirky is often a good thing.7) simple uniform properties will be the most difficult to find in this current market, you may want to consider the ones that take creativity and time... again this can be more easily done via strategic partnerships8) being too busy isn’t necessarily an issue if you utilize a strategic partnership that can create a win win.Hope this helps?

When a tenant from hell attempts to clean a toilet they often forget about the back of the toilet.........GROSS!
