@Travis Timmons, I don't at all disagree with the transition to a higher qualified client, but if you're not willing to atleast refer that newbie to someone in your firm to assist them, I'd overlook that agent in the future regardless of the deal.

Transitioning to a C class and increasing rents as well as reducing operating costs by better screening could work but you need a greater return in the lower class areas to justify the headaches.Start with a really low offer and test to see how desperate the seller is to unload the property.

If you are interested in buying elsewhere, selling and buying in Pueblo might be a good transition so your still close to your investment or out of state to get multiple rents and see if you can increase the monthly cashflow and I would definately look into a PM if you are investing out of state.

Buyer is in due diligence right now, so we will see where their appraisal comes in, but my agent is confident in our contract price.I think the problem is that appraisers use these generic formulas for price adjustments and don't really have the time (at $300-$400 fee) to fully understand the neighborhoods, especially if it is a somewhat transitioning neighborhood.  

Unfortunately, this is part of REI and one of the primary reasons I transitioned to 3rd party management.

I am also active duty Army and love to work with other members of the military on their PCS or transition out of the military, or to help them understand the power of real estate investing.

However, they then transitioned to Temporary Rental Assistance which requires the tenant to work or go through their job placement program.

I just want to make sure I don't miss/overlook something as I transition into the commercial world.Thank you!

Accordingly, the transition of property ownership officially transfers from the seller to you (A-B transaction).

There's also transitional living homes, for those in recovery.
