The #1 reason most fail is that they quit too soon.I currently have at least a half dozen KW clients running successful campaigns across the Country.

@Allen WuI live a couple miles from Shaenfield Place and drive by the area most days on my commute. 

The area is good; 4 miles from a large mall, 3 miles from the local growing community college, and about 8 miles from downtown with is undergoing revitalization and is definitely growing.Just looking at the report, my numbers do not work right now at that purchase price, but getting the rents up even into the 700~750 range would make this work.What do you all think? 

That is really horrible compared to what I should have done.I'm already experienced with investing in multi-units and had I invested that same $1.2 million into apartment units in California where everyone, including myself, thought rental units were far too expensive three years ago, that $1.2 million would have appreciated by about $800,000 vs the approximately $350,000 we earned in Las Vegas.So, we sold all 5 properties in Las Vegas and purchase a 6-unit apartment building in Hawthorne California and the building is exactly 5 miles from where we live vs. 280 miles to manage the properties in Las Vegas.Now that we own 1 6-unit building vs. 5 single family homes the profit and calculations is a whole new ballgame.

I installed 'INSERTS' where even large living room windows cost me about $180 and I install then in less than 1 hour with no plastering, no stuccoing, no city inspection problems and my total cost with painting is about $250 per window and if you are half handy you can do all the work yourself.But...don't install windows until you resolve your moisture problem.

I don’t think it really matters....in the event of a divorce each party gets half of the equity, of all jointly owned properties.  

If you're half as busy as me you will understand that this is not worth the time or animosity.I'm debating the depth and nature of my response. 

I would walk a mile in your moms shoes. 

Just closed on a C5 zoned property in Colorado Springs on a major street less than a mile from downtown (currently going through growth explosion) and 1 mi to Old Colorado City hub (very popular tourist destination), and a 1200 sq ft commercial workshop(detached) that I can build out a second (interior floor).

In the absence of actual knowledge of abandonment, it shall be presumed that the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit if he or she is absent from the premises for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments.
