From my research, it seems like it's probably pretty common in DFW area to have tenants do lawn-care, but I'd probably need to cover items like pest control, HVAC check-ups etc.Also I am seeing mortgage rates for investment properties ~ 5.75% to 6%.

Hard Money rates are too outrageous, some conventional lenders will lend for the purchase price but not the rehab, and lines of credit are an option but it's hard to get a business loan large enough to cover 100% of the purchase plus rehab if any.So, here's where I stand.

I use smart move myself but because I charge a non-refundable move in fee I cover the price of the smart move.

Also, this is my second post and I just realized having a picture is important.

Two near-seniors on disability whose grown kids suck getting thrown out on their tails with an eviction on their record had me picturing them in a cardboard box.

The pictures look good.

They will not accept the deal if it is just a subject-to offer in the amount to cover their mortgage payment. 

I would have sold it primarily to avoid the upcoming capex of the roof and eventually the galvanized plumbing…Now, Luckily the money I’ve set aside for vacancy, capex, etc. from rents will cover the roof cost.

But if I had two scenarios, A) paying $1000 dollars in rent a month to a landlord or B) Paying $1000 dollars into a home (covering my part of the mortgage and covering the negative cash flow from the other units) is scenario B not superior to scenario A?

You should be able to find a landlord policy that’ll cover a 3-unit property.
