Fix everything that needs to be fixed with the property and take pictures of everything before they move in.

Study the basics first so that you get the big picture of RE before trying to find some niche.

In reality, things don't often work out as they do in a text book, consider the big picture and as Jerry suggested, your personal goals. :)ps, Jerry, tried to vote up up but my button isn't working!

The contractor needs to be able to communicate and keep them informed with pictures of progress, updates, sign-offs on permits & paper-work, etc. via digital means.

The problem is that you're trying to follow niche strategies and aren't getting the big picture due to missing the basics of real estate knowledge.What's the difference between joint tenancy and tenancy in common?

I do not know what's legal there (find out), but had you considered posting flyers up that state the unit who didn't pay, the name of the owner, and a picture of them?

Andrew Johnson “I use Appfolio out of santa barbara, ca its definitely not free and my property mgmt company passes those costs down to me which I think is around 50-60 bucks a month based on number of units under the service.I am able to see all reports from rent rolls, cash flow statements / trailing 12 month cash flow, tenant ledgers, maintenance requests, dialog between tenants and mgmt staff, resolutions to maintenance requests, move in pictures, move out pictures, or video, and many more features.What I like is that it allows the vendors to be in a dialog/text/chat box so they are prepared (vendor) prior to job assignment with lockbox codes, scope of work and pictures before they even go to the site so we dont waste time figuring things out and run up a huge $$$ bill for lack of efficiency.”

Pictures of the property look good.

Factor in government promises such as social security, etc and the big picture does not look good.

Really depends the whole picture...how nice is the entire building, what's customary for the neighborhood, etc.
