My guess is the owner has this relative that is the tenant, and the tenant is a spendthrift or deadbeat; so the owner is hoping to be relieved of the problem house, and still have housing provided for the deadbeat relative (but this owner no longer wants to be the housing provider).

Since you have relations with this person, that might be the next easiest thing to do to get into the house.

I'm glad to see more development related content on BP.

Hello BP users,I am a relatively new RE investor but have had a rental for a number of years.

I would bring a friend or relative with you who is knowledgeable to look at the houses.

After my multiple posts on all your help in how-to help on screening and other related rental criteria, I have finally found the tenant who is signing the lease on Saturday!

A relative watched me do this and now wants to do the next one with me.

At that time, I was considering having one appraisal ordered by me, and one ordered by my partner then taking the average to determine the exit value before we part ways.Does anyone have any good suggestions as to fair, objective ways to determine the values?
