In my notice to tenants, I ask them to report what issues they are having that need my attention that they haven't mentioned previously.

After graduating from college a year ago I've been learning the ropes of real estate investing through this site, through various books (Rich Dad Poor Dad series especially) and some freelance work.As good as the books and online material out there are, I'm looking to work for an investor so I can learn the nitty gritty of the business and get started investing myself.

Right now, it's sort of up in the air as to how long a landlord must hold the tenant's possessions, and we must serve notice to the tenant and store items until the tenant replies or a "reasonable" (open to interpretation) amount of time has passed, which leaves landlords stuck with either a vacant property storing past tenant's possessions or a bill for a storage unit.6.

Turns out the previous owner who was long deceased somehow received a loan from the department of public assistance (obviously an expired program) against the house.

in the case of properties purchased at trustee sale, the new owner has no contact with previous owner holding the lien, how to get the payoff?

Mine runs about 2500sq ft plus an office, a cement paved lot & storage shed.

I only found out because she called the previous landlord crying, and the previous landlord called me to talk about it.I called the tenant to explain that I have every intention of treating her well, and that I will pay for all reasonable repairs.

.-1640 sq ft + 2 car garage + Storage shedSo my questions:-What do you think would be a reasonable rent for this place?

If the previous owner was the landlord and ran off with the security deposit, who knows if the tenant is even paying rent.

We have been basically funding our apartments (and four children - all college students) with house flips.
