They were both laid off in mid-March due to COVID, and then two weeks later the husband had a sudden heart attack and passed away.

If it were mine I (MIGHT) spray it white, and put shutters on it and add windows in place of the boarded up openings.As well as add a see through commercial style door on both ends of the hallway (rape and other attack prevention) if the area called for it.Cement a few park style BBQ's into the ground on each side (split them up to prevent tenants arguing) and park style trash cans chained to the ground (with lawn personnel responsible for changing out the bags).A repave and paint of the lot (might be a lender requirement).A commercial awning with WELCOME on it (in a bad neighborhood not everyplace seems welcome).The building name and address (easy for Police and visitors to read from the road).Some leasing signs and good look at the roof regarding replacement (for leaks) because the building looks neglected.Good bright lighting (up high on the building) around the building and parking lot at night, and no bushes (hiding places for attackers).I said (MIGHT) above, because I'd need to take a drive around the area and see the competition, to decide what I wanted to offer to make the building competitive without overspending.Also, I'd do that drive and crunch the numbers on it before being locked into a purchase contract for it, because it might be a pass instead of a buy. 

Without that, an attorney can attack right through it saying you have not maintained the LLC and it's no longer valid.  1)  Do an annual update.  

Get up attack your day and stop taking days off until you get to a position you are happy with.

Maybe foolish on our part but I will claim a bit of naivete as opposed to outright attack on our neighbors. 

Once you get an insight, then you can develop a plan of attack.

Tell them that you were attacked by a clown when you were a child.

The first thing you need to do is to decide exactly what plan of attack you want to take.

Also if you are not prepared for these types of calls I highly recommend getting a property manager it might save you from having a heart attack.

I have a really good team we're building that wants to start with Wholesaling and attacking other aspects of Real Estate for long terms goals.
