They tend not to show as well as when they're vacant and all freshly painted and cleaned. 

A coffee maker/fresh towels at the beginning of a stay doesn't sound "substantial" to me, but then again, I'm not an IRS agent... 

Week 3 update to our Hampton Roads 8 Unit located in Norfolk VirginiaThis week we had a tenant move out so we got to start fresh in another unit. 

View report*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.I have an opportunity on a cash buy and the numbers look exciting, however the previous owner seemed to use the property as a storage facility and it is DISGUSTING!

Personally I would look to storage and mobile home parks first, primarily due to the single tenant question. 

Asking price: $80k (my realtor said it was priced fairly for area)Property is turnkey, doesn’t need anything but some paint and some fresh gravel for the driveway.Rent is listed as $850 in my attached report but think I can go a bit higher - posted a fake ad before offering at $850 without pictures and had 7 people reach out in 3 days.https://www.biggerpockets.com/analysis/rentals/e92aca0e-38c0-49fa-8c6c-05e65cb123af.pdf

Last month I bought a storage facility for the price of two houses and I project it will cash flow more than 25 houses.

I would have started cleaning up the common areas first and let the tenants know that going forward leaving messes in the common areas or using them as storage was unacceptable.

I thought the syndications were for accredited investors only but after looking up the 506b offerings, it looks like I could invest as an unaccredited investor if I have a relationship with the syndicator.By listening to BiggerPockets, I think A or B apartment complexes or storage units could be good investments. 

The other two units i use for property related workspace where i keep all the tools and the other unit is pure storage for tools and supplies that im using to restore the damaged property.
