I have two girls, ages 14 and 11, that I want to spend a heck of a lot more time with.  

I am thinking about providing new tenants with a welcome basket of basic cleaning supplies and household items like: paper towels, toilet paper, toilet brush, plunger, dish soap, and all purpose cleaner.    

If I were you I would spend a lot of time speaking with brokers to see what they offer to a part time realtor.  

I am going to continue to do research and spend a lot of time on here reading posts. 

Flips sound like I would really enjoy doing them more, but I have extremely limited knowledge in fixing/repairing homes and don't have much extra time to spend doing it, so I think the "fun" part of having a flip I wouldn't be able to participate in and would just have to hire out.

The $900 covers cleaning cost and compensates us for the hassle and we get a tenant who will be in there and will be happy and will be able to pay.I suggest you get him out as quickly as possible to avoid non-payment (technically if he doesn't pay it will take a while to evict anyway and you'll spend a lot of money). 

I would think I could just build some for that if I wanted to spend that much.I definitely dont plan to buy one just to buy one.

(as there are every where) You would just need to spend a good amount of time really learning the area and being comfortable with all the forces at play where you eventually decide to pull the trigger. 

I buy nice houses in nice neighborhoods, fix them up to the max, spend a little more to make them over the top, and rent them to nice tenants who appreciate the house and appreciate me as their landlord.  

Unfortunately we can't control who writes reviews on the site.For me personally, if I am going to spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars with someone it is not going to be based off of a two line review.
