Thank you all for the welcoming words of encouragement.

I don't like the idea of taking advantage of anyone, but personally if I found an opportunity like this I would understand the reality of the situation is that if you are able to make a favorable deal, so can anyone else in the market, so might as well strike first and be more reasonable during the turnover process so you can sleep well at night. 

I don't want anyone to feel like I am forcing out Step-dad, but it is a big house and the rent (and upkeep) are more than one person may want to handle.

Personally hammered every shingle on that new roof and painted the interior.

The study identifies with forensic engineering detail the immediate Bonus Depreciation 5, 7 and 15-year personal property class lives qualifying portions of a building that are normally buried in 27.5 year residential or 39 year commercial categories.As a reminder, bonus depreciation will start to phase out in 2023.

Just spoke to a property owner we met here on BP.Very nice person who's been DIY managing their double-digit doors after being burned by bad PMCs in the past.Wanted weekly in-depth updates, all rents deposited in their bank account - and then they would pay the PMC their fee, and expected the PMC to use their PM software.Pretty much looking for a go'fer person, NOT a PMC.We wished them good luck.

By the end of September, I will have 25k saved up to use on a property (outside of my personal emergency fund of course).

I lost everything in 2008 during the recession.  13 homes all in the suburbs including my personal home in Royal Oak. 

I also hope to have the flexibility to focus on a personal goal of non-profit work involving real estate at this stage.I look forward to conversing with all of you, including building a reliable and trustworthy network of colleagues.

I'm seeking recommendations for types of businesses either to encourage/court or to consider myself or with a partner.
