Hello BP! I am a new investor in York, PA. My current financial situation only allows me to deal with lower income properties. I want to know what you other investors are doing to “tenant proof” your units. I am cur...

If you don't tell him all the reasons you got a screaming deal, then he must assume it was an arms length open market transaction, which in turn will mean the other home appraises low, which may mean it sells for less, which in turn means one of YOUR comps sold for less, which could impact market value of your home should you go to sell or refinance it.I would be selective about what I would share, and I wouldn't lie, but I'd only share information that will, or could, lead to my property selling or appraising for more. 

Also, we have little kids of our own and I would be the primary property manager so this is not something we take lightly.

I received my license back in 2005 when Real Estate agents would refuse to submit the “low ball” offers Mike and I wanted to make.

I use this ozone generator and it works great.This machine can work really well on light odors without any heavy cleaning.

@Nick Diecidue Your budget is way, way too low. 

I have purchased a couple of properties and am running low on cash.

We are looking at a 30k SF multi-tenant light industrial property in Arlington.

On to plan "B".As a thought, if your stoop is the size and location you want, but just in bad shape, perhaps having a contractor skim coat it is a low cost solution.

There was food on plates left around the living room, fly strips hanging from the kitchen light, fruit snacks on the carpet, and the toilets/showers looked like they had not been cleaned in 6+ months.
