Hi All - I am looking for perspectives on my options that might help me decide my next steps.

I appreciate your perspective on the lead time to fill the vacancy.

It sounds much more swampy then I though from your perspective. luckily, I do have a guy that can mentor me so the process might not be the quickest but it will be cautious.

Doesn't quite smell like they smoked directly in there but mild smoke smell with more B.O. smell than anything.I know paint is usually considered "wear and tear" from a security deposit perspective.

For commissions and income I recently shifted from residential to commercial and joined a commercial team for learning purposes.However, for personal investments, I am looking mainly at SFRs-4 units.

It depends on what sort of deals you are targeting and what return metric you are looking at.These are a few rule of thumbs I like to follow to determine a good deal, from a return perspective, to LP's:IRR: 17%+Equity Multiple: 2X over 5 yr hold, 3X over 10 yr holdAverage Cash on Cash: 10%+

That may also make the lending scenario a bit cleaner from a lending perspective, and it would give you two properties to leverage against, should you want to sell one to shore of up capital in the future.

It's also extremely important you have your own qualifications that you do not shift away from.

I know the market has shifted and its coming up on the holidays, so things are a bit slow.

Another value add is to shift the water responsibility to the tenant's.
