REAL-LIFE EXAMPLEI called a firm that owns assets in one of our target markets in TX, and I was able to get on the phone with one of the owners, the son of the owner.

Fortunately, our son has a large compressor, gauges and the know-how to install if himself.

I have one unit part of a MF where they offer to have the son in law mow because they don't want to move their stuff but I am sticking with my guy because I don't want the son in law to just mow around big sections of the lawn or mow infrequently so they have to pick up every week.

Some of the most basic updates ( granite / backsplash /appliances ) in my opinion is what people what right now in a higher end rental, thus getting you way more $s on your rents.

The owners son said they will probably try to sell it in a few months, so I was considering asking about a seller-financing deal.

And I stopped.In spring of 2016, my son expressed an interest in RE investing and so I did one webinar, became a PRO member, and stopped again.Then, 17 weeks ago, I received notice of a small amount of money (or large depending upon one's point of view) from an inheritance and it coincided with my first podcast listen.17 weeks later, I just finished listening to my final podcast and am now current. 

Guy came with his son and GF and filled-up rental application.

There is a father son living there, so when I officially take over I would like to see what I do.

If you have some experience, what would you suggest for me if I were your son, brother or someone you cared about? 

While talking to Mom she was I am helping my son get home and then will buy 55+ old house and move out.
