Not being negative here, just noting that I'm attentive to details.If anybody is a home inspector or can put me in touch with someone who would be willing to be a mentor for me I would greatly appreciate your advice.Thanks!

Tenants will appreciate the attention, and it will be one less thing to do when the units turn overIf the parking area is otherwise OK, restripe and/or paint fresh unit numbers on the parking spaces.Spend a few dollars on perennial flowers.

Yesterday in our local newspaper the front cover headline caught my attention "CRISIS IN THE RENTAL MARKET"  the article talks about the local rental vacancy rate being at 2.4% where the national average is 6.8%.  

I purposely withheld rent to get their attention after many unanswered emails and phone calls about basic stuff and a raging roach infestation!

If you're not a voracious reader, agreeing up front to read 5 is a monumental task.

Auction could be a great place to learn, and meet some of the players in your area, but your attention might be better served if you focused on off-market properties- or even properties that are listed. 

Thank you for your time and attention and feel free to reach out to me for further connections and brainstorming. 

Granted there are speakers there selling their programs but if you're paying attention there is education in those presentations.
