Im looking to become a buy and hold investor. I'm planning on starting a company.

My question is to experienced landlords is what trade skill example ( hvac electrician) would be the best to know. And what is the worst damage someone has done to one of your units.

I may be wrong on the best trade but plumbing would be my choice, if I had to choose.

The worst I have ever had a tenant do, was he stole the coper lines as he was leaving and flooded my basement in the middle of winter. I got lucky because I was there within a few hours or it could have been a really bad problem for me.
