I DEFINITELY have both the drive and the hustle, I have three small children to support and I currently work full time as a teacher in NJ...it's very expensive to live here and I simply don't make enough, so RIE it is to gain financial as well as time wealth to be with my boys more.

wouldn't buying new furniture before paying the security deposit be a red flag to you....not that the person(s) doesn't have the money to pay rents, rather they obviously don't view it as the priority.

If you're holding as a rental, I would only finish the basement if you solve the moisture issue first; otherwise, you're opening yourself up to angry tenants if storage boxes, furniture, etc get wet.

The grandmother may invest in another home that is large enough to share with one of her children and two of her grandchildren.  

However It has come to my attention with my children that this is a generational thing.

My wife and I both have full time jobs and along with two young children, makes this endeavor a matter of #hustle!

It would make him disqualified as much as your wife or children etc., same with a fiduciary or trustee. 

@Gerold Koch I know that if a tenant with children requests window guards you are required to put them in I feel like if they request the radiator covers you may be in the book for them.

I may be asking the realtor to line up tenants for me as we go through this process.As for furnishing, I don't need much myself as a single guy in terms of furniture, so I don't need to furnish my unit that much, so probably any expenses with furnishing my place will probably go to that.

On the inside, consider hiring a property staging company to add key pieces of furniture if that is in your budget.Be Realistic on Price PointHouse flippers often get caught up in the amount of money they have put into the house, as well as the highest comp, and end up pricing themselves right out of the market.
