I get this isn't ideal but it's reality, you have massive PM issues, transactional issues, you need a few professionals immediately. 

I  am a rising sophomore and my goal is to ideally get a small multifamily in the Austin area by my senior year.

If you are buying, you ask for a month-to-month or one-year lease. 2) Be professional but also be a little flexible with a potential long-term tenant. 3) Zillow has a good lease template that is customized for your local laws.

Ask yourself what your ideal is.

And the home would be rented fairly quickly ideally, shouldn't have too much time vacant based on our current rental market. 

Laundry room with washer an dryers( ideal but would this make the apartment less appealing to tenants )3.

If I were to make the most beautiful website in the world with a 100% customer conversion rate and no one ever saw it what does it matter?

I suggested they seller finance but with all the siblings in their 70s not ideal to do a long am seller finance.

Personally, I would love identify a good location first, ideally in LA, for a 3B/2B property that would be under $500,000, ideally with a garage or ADU, in a safe neighborhood not far from a college campus, that would be a fixer upper.

I've done 4x6 postcards for around $.50 each, including a custom front and back.
