If I fixed those things I couldnt raise rent because the apts would be the same so Im really trying to weigh my options.

I'm having a very bad experience with my current PM in Davenport and am exploring alternatives currently.

Hey Jack, I think Columbus is a great option to consider.

Or if you don't feel comfortable with that you can alternate. 

Please let me know if you need  assistance and I can help you with options. 

Consider financing options: If you need to secure a loan to purchase the property, you will need to work with a lender directly since there won't be a real estate agent coordinating the transaction for you.5.

If you were staying local(ish), Self-Managing could be a great option, but it depends on your REAL job and mental capacity.

I can't order furniture, set up moving dates, or advertise for roommates.I'm also undecided on whether I should pursue STR/MTR/LTR options. (5 minutes away from groceries, 15 min drive to DT Seattle, <30min bus to DT Seattle)Do you have any advice on what steps I should take leading up to the closing date, which is just 2 weeks away?

Hey @Timothy Heck,I'd be happy to share some options for your mother.

I agree, it will come down to preference in addition to financing options.
