Have a salon with a water heater that was installed around three months ago, and the tenant has complained that it's having issues heating the water; I suspect it may be an electrical issue with the system. 

How do you find the best deals in a competitive market like Texas?

I am assuming 10% vacancy, 10% repairs.A couple things just came up during inspection and I will likely try to get a lower price but I don't think I will be able to get it.Should I just go for it anyways? 

** If you’ve engaged in rent-to-own or lease option transactions, what tips do you have for making sure it’s a beneficial arrangement?

Both are just jobs, not RE investing. 

Just wish they'd do the right thing, they are running our properties into the ground and most are less than 5 years old. 

Would that be worth the effort?

It's all in the presentation and of course, the offer price.

Hi Elia, welcome to the community!

If both of those answers are no, then they mentally move to the next step.
