Hi Joe,I doubt ceiling fans can increase the rent in San Antonio.In the bedroom(s) and living area I think of them as must haves to retain residents (in Texas).I have no formal data for this, just a gut feel, that residents will stay longer if they have (the proper) comforts in the unit.Some fans must be oiled regularly, avoid those.Home depot sells replacement blades and replacement parts for them.Them make a kit where you can reach up into the old light hole and secure some bars in there and that holds the fan steady--meaning don't just bolt it to the old electrical box.The reason I hold my beliefs about them is every time I have been inside an apartment or home, and someone is in the room, winter or summer--the fans are on.So I assume people consider that a comfort item like having heating, especially if it's a SFH without AC (which San Antonio has a lot of).Cheap fans cool the same as fancy expensive ones, and when they are turning you can't see the fancy blades anyway.Good Luck!

I’m currently just an observer.

One of the main challenge that I observed is that individuals often lack a clear end goal or strategy, or they select a market that doesn't align it.

I have attended several tax sales, only observing – purposely did not bring a cashiers check.

You will retain ownership of the three units, but completing the conversion to condos will help make the property more appealing to future buyers.

A fractional home owner allows persons access to the home at predetermined times while still retaining partial ownership over the home, as opposed to a time share where individuals own units of time.

If they can observe traffic coming in and out of the house, they will make a larger quantity arrest and will build a great relationship with yourself and the PD.

I keep my rents at about $75 per mo below market to retain my tenants and because I am lazy-I hate vacancies.

I'm sorry you are having these issues.I can certainly understand the conservative approach they are taking with this.However, and these are just my, non-lawyerly observations...While there is little to no case law acknowledging an option as a form of equitable title, there is case law acknowledging an option as a negotiable asset.

But he is simply a laborer and not a contractor and is using the $1m+ budgets for the churches as his basis.The wife and I plan to buy our first rental after the first of the year when we have enough retained cash to buy a unit ($10k).This doesn't seem like a good starter project for us,being inexperienced in the business.Any direction?
