I will get in touch with the people leading the group and hopefully contribute!

v=5VkacqWgeXIWe should keep in touch. 

I have tried getting in touch with a few places I found online and that I got names from other investors I know but have not even gotten my messages returned.Any and all recommendations that anyone can give me for an outfit that would pick up a single SFR in the area I'd really appreciate it.

I’ve used QuickBooks but have only touched the surface.

Properties which banks won't touch because they are beat up. 

Same thing goes for people who are extremely lazy by nature, and are not willing to endure any effort or sacrifice to maximize their product's potential.Conversely, big ego people, ones that think they, and everything they touch, is gold, often set rates far higher than they can reasonably get - and then raise hell about the tenant pool, other landlords, tax cuts, and everything else under the sun when the unit sits there vacant, forever.

Other than ripping out carpeting, putting in some floors, touching up the kitchen, fixing up the blinds and some other smaller touch ups, the rehab is not that grand in scale.

Since then I have done tons of research and I'm always trying to get in touch with investors around me.

Attempt to gain control of the unit - - contact the coroner and/or police dept and get it released to you - - touch NOTHING until then.Contact roommate if she was not present & find nearest relative.You will have to handle all property as Abandoned Property per your State regs.In Calif, we have to notify the next tenant that there was a death in the unit. but do not have to state the reason - - verify your State requirements.

Technically you will not "share" a wall in spite of how it looks, technically there are typically two complete walls... they just touch and good luck separating them after 15 years.
