I like the eviction process, but landlords should be required to maintain habitability. 

The fact that they have zero ability to maintain any sort of project schedule is beyond my comprehension.

Time really is running out for me on this deal.Thank you.

Hey @Dave Jackson-I am a full time RE guy who lives downtown but frequents Carmel all the time.

Most of you old timers should know what I mean.

Who maintains the property, i.e. cuts yard, bushes and picks up leaves?

Further, the added cost of maintaining them and the risk of making your tenant get on a ladder to maintain them is not worth it. 

Make sure there are as many as units (unless landlord pays utilities).Find out how common areas are shared/run/storage rented etc.If there is a laundry room find out if there are coin operated machines and who is maintaining them.

Sewer Utilities: Private Sewerage - Title 5: Buyer's Responsibility This is pretty standard language if it is an REO or Short Sale.If a Short Sale the owners should at least be able to tell you if they maintain it and how old it is and stuff.

You can have an active role in the businesses' management (in fact, you have to), and you can take a salary from the business as well.It's an alternative to a typical SDI that has some amazing benefits for full time real estate investors...
