Send mail to their heirs and start engaging with the neighbor.

@Lorraine Martin I would just cover the floors with a vinyl plank or other floating floor option.

OR.... you can actually engage in trying to become a REI Agent, and to do that means your going to have to bring value as a REI Advisor.

When you say masonry, is the estimate based off of the building being built entirely out of brick or something along the lines of siding/hardy plank? 

Lease price, structure, length and longevity of the current tenantsCondition of the capex items including the roof, structure, water tank, furnace, ac, appliances etc.Keep engaging with them and create consistent touches.

Our fully renovated VERY LARGE one-story units with brand new kitchens with quartz countertops and new bathrooms with even a glass shower door and all wood plank floors to create a peaceful space for living.

I recommend becoming familiar with the steps involved with a closing in your state, that will help you feel more comfortable with what to do and what services to engage.

I define a good tenant as someone who:Has stable employment in a market segment that is very likely to be stable or improve over timeHas a credit history with which you can evaluate the likelihood that they will performPays all the rent on scheduleTakes care of the propertyDoes not cause problems with neighborsDoes not engage in illegal activities while on the propertyStays for many yearsProperty SelectionOnce you select a good tenant pool, you target them through the properties you purchase.

I want this professional community to engage in professional dialogue that informs my and everyone’s ability to become more successful investors.

People who were already planning to buy are mostly still engaged in the process and haven't dropped out.
