I brought up the idea of selling our condo and purchasing a multifamily property near our parents that we would owner occupy.

I brought another local investor over as a potential partner.

For me I found the motivated seller 1st, than brought deals to couple of buyers.

Made him smoke outside.He still brought smoke smell into the house.

Sam Eligwe There are some very valid points brought up in many of the answers you've received.Mike H.

So . . here I am:a) After being there 3 months - I'm thinking they brought the bugs with them - they did have their stuff in a POD when they moved in.

I would be asking my PM why they brought me an applicant with 9-pets ... unless you are renting an acreage with a barn?

I brought in my carpenter to patch the roofs, ceilings and floors ... and to extend a closet to capture the space in one building and extend two kitchen to install apartment size en-suite laundry in two units at another building.If it's not being used and it is in disrepair, I would remove it at lease to below the roof line (ceiling of the top floor).

After this weekend, where I brought the property up to showing-standards I put the rent more in-line with the market and am getting the next wave of interest.

Keep in mind, I don't know your level of knowledge in real estate transactions.I would offer a discounted commission, since basically you brought the buyer.
