So I have some landlord experience.

So backstory, this deal is one my friend found, and he’s curious what BP thinks (he is not yet a member even though I tell him everyday to make a free account).So he lives in a townhouse in a small town (Lexington, VA) and the landlord of his townhouse owns three townhouses that are all connected.

Land lording is a PEOPLE business first, and a property business second.You will spend the same money replacing a roof on a C unit as on a B unit. 

I work and invest in the LehighValley and we have a number of investors who come to our market for the price point, taxes, and friendlier landlord laws.

If I close on April 2nd, will I get the rental income from the landlord for April (minus the 1 day pro rated amount)? 

They gave me their landlord’s number.

Vacancy is one of the most expensive costs for landlords, so keep that in mind. 

If so start reading up on landlord laws for your state.  

They reflect landlord strategy and have nuances that encourage tenants to shoulder more/less maintenance, pay rent on time, etc.
