I am fairly familiar with small claim system as both a tenant and a landlord. 

So, if you already had an investment property it would still be fairly easy to get a primary home after. 

If we negotiate well and by it at $90/sq ft, then put $10-$15/sq ft in it for rehab then we are right at fair market value with no profit margin.

If you do not decide on a JV agreement, want to maintain your hourly rate, and the property is already under contract, you could propose a "finder's fee".Like @Greg Dickerson said, there are lots of ways to structure this, but the most important part is to get everything in writing.

The structure and roof are in great condition and the property has been very well maintained.

@Kasey Gourley lol fair enough.

In this case, especially if you're getting a better price and your sure a fairly identical unit next door has them, I might buy them.Another thought though is that if you don't supply them and therefore charged less, you might get the tenant who wants to pay less and actually does not want to use "someone's old washer and dryer."

He says he really is just tired of maintaining tenants.

Whether it be blogging on a regular basis, cold calling, and/or preparing an array of marketing materials, staying on-top of these task and maintaining high output is vital for a few obvious reasons.

All the things associated with running and maintaining a rental are the responsibility of the property manager, i.e. maintenance, placing tenants, collecting rents, paying utilities.
