So far, no issues with the tenants paying their new increased rents either (knock on wood). 

I’d anticipate purchasing the fixer up for between 70-85k putting a financed 40-45k worth of renovations into it (ideally only cosmetic; flooring, knocking out walls for open concept kitchen, new windows, doors, bathroom update and possible addition of a bathroom, recessed lighting, minimal landscaping and hvac if necessary) in an effort to sell no less than 150k.

Hi Natalie, I will say it is great that you're going through the process of rethinking where you want to set that price; and I don't want to knock Craigslist or Facebook for posting your listing because a lot of landlords have luck finding tenants there.

I sold a rental in San Mateo Ca for 1.2 mil the buyer knocked it down and built a duplex-it was zoned R2.

There's an amazing vacant and off-market parcel I'm vying for currently for a project I've been working on and in spite of best efforts (letters, door knocking, phone calls, etc) myself and my agent have been unsuccessful at reaching the current owner.

I door knocked when I found this deal.

work with agents and you wouldn't want to miss out on that tenant pool unless people are just knocking down your door!

Knock on doors.

I knocked on the door, they handed me $840, I handed them a receipt. 

There’s no official access to an owner occupied property, but.....just go knock on the door, be polite, ask if they plan on staying, etc.
