Current rents per month: N/AFair market rents per month: $1,400 for long-term rental and $2,100 average/monthly for short-term rental (conservative estimate)Down payment or equity: Would prefer minimum down payment possible.  

However, there is a way to bring them in as partners and treat them as preferred return partners and report the preferred return as guaranteed payments for use of capital. 

Any suggestions for an inexpensive preferably battery operated intercom/doorbell?  

Greetings all:  which software do you use for cold calling potential sellers?  Thanks in advance

I would say that you're clear on the timeline of 60 days per the lease as you noted, but would maybe want to consider limiting access to the executor alone, consider going with them maybe and just kindly explain to them that you would prefer only they come in to claim possessions. 

Nice part is, if you find one you like, then typically owner/occupants are given preference over investors.

I would have a hard time finding employees at that actual wage and I would think people would prefer to be in a non-tipped position like line cook or just about anything else if pay was that low.  

I prefer to remain leveraged and benefit from tax benefits while I grow my portfolio.

If you have any preferred private money lenders that would be helpful too.

My real estate agent had strongly encouraged me to get local financing because he said the seller's agents showed preference to those offers.
