The oversized living & dining rooms are ideal for entertaining.

If you choose to go that route, then ideally, you'll want a consultant to come in and test (to prove that the problem is/isn't isolated to the area with the obvious mold), and you may even want them to write a "scope of work" to complete the remediation (mold tear out language).  

Ideally, I'd want to cut them in on the deal to align everyone's incentives. 

I am considering ditching altogether and simply using a software like YourPorter for auto-messaging and TurnoverBnB for housekeeper scheduling.

Ideally, you'd build up savings to eventually cover 6 months to a year of your annual budget.   

(this would be ideal considering his low interest rate)This would be strictly an investment property for me and I would obviously let him live in the home for the remainder of his life.

I mean flexible down payment not whether it's non-refundable, ideally I'd like 3.5% but if they squirm I'll take half of that.

When an owner calls you 6 months after a payout and wants to know why $67.94 was pulled from rent (I say this because this is an actual call that I received), you want to be able to pull the file that has the invoice and ideally, have it uploaded into a property management system like Buildium for owners to find. 

I know that answering your question with a question isn’t ideal, but people tend to save for a specific reason.

I am looking for advice and know-how and ideally, a partner who would allow me contribute but what I can (familiar with rehabbing and project management) while learning the ropes on the investment side.I am eager coachable and on fire to change lives.
