@Ben MMix some bleach and baking soda to create a paste and apply to the moldy areas with a cheap paint brush.

Tips?

Thank you in advance for any guidance or helpful tips that you can provide.

I looked around to see if this question has already been posted but couldn't find anything.I know a lot of people say that painting brick is a bad idea since you have to re-apply paint every ten years or whatever.

I’m looking for one to do some work to turn a rental property - replace shower/tub plumbing and retile it in a bathroom, carpet, paint, and some dry wall replacement.

As in carpet and paint and maybe some appliances.

If you are looking to buy 50K houses, that doesn't exist in your state, but those investments tend to be risky and best suited for experienced, local operators.Hi Brian,I wouldn't necessarily agree that due to a population decline in a state or city that's it's not a good investment.The micro economics paint a different picture than what can be found out online via research.There are areas in my market that are booming with sales and rentals flying of the shelf even tho the broad market is showing a decline in population.I think that majority of the markets in the Midwest are showing a decline on population anyway lolSomething that I have preached to investors for years now is that finding the right team to work with is more important than focusing on just the online stats/demographics.You are correct tho regarding turnkey outfits.Most are very shady and do oversell properties.Something that isn't a deal breaker as long as the property management is solid.In most cases it isn't so that kills the deal completely.Just my opinion.Thanks 

Anyone have tips on how to put together some sort of packet to bring to him so that he knows this is a legit option and to help him see the benefits of this?

Or would they be unable to move in because you're still laying flooring and painting walls?

Any tips and tricks to approach them, provide meaningful value for them and building rapport?
