An entire month vacant is a lot of money to lose.In regard to the original question, seems to me you're off the hook with your current tenants.

I have a house that my family member owns and wants to sell to me.

You email the link, they click it, fill it out, pay the $35 fee, and the results come to me.

I have been noticing that there are more homes for sale... and it seems to me that it sitting there. 

I would increase that percentage with other factors, such as if the hourly painter came from a reliable referral source.In a nutshell, an hourly painter to me sounds inexperienced and better be waaaaay cheaper than everybody else.

Good luck, if you have any questions reach out to me any time.

And as I've said, to me $7,000 a house when you are investing $200,000 to $300,000 per house and holding for 4 - 5 months is chicken feed. 

To me this is a buyers market but some people have advised me to stay away from anything in the town.

It appears to me that the USMC will grow to about 195k by 2025 so I would say the Jacksonville market is looking pretty stable for the foreseeable future.

Hi, I'm looking to purchase my second deal but I had a few questions about the contract with a deceased owner.Ok, so a widow reached out to me wanting to sell a pair of properties in Texas, but it looks like her deceased husband is the only one on Title according to the county website.1) I'm assuming the Title company will be able to work out the widow, survivorship of the property and legally she'll be able to sell it to me?
