You want to do them well, but for tenants, you want something really durable. 

Lithium battery EV is a dead technology.

For example in the Reno, NV area there has been a big push for diversification beyond hospitality and now Tesla is building battery packs and the new Semi Truck.

I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add. 

For instance, changing the battery in a garage remote and reprogramming it.

I prefer durability and simplicity over style. 

I don't really want a separate meter for the ADU, especially since we will have solar/battery installed on the main home and would want the benefit of that for the ADU.

I'm trying to find something more durable than carpet (seems to only last a few years) and am turned off by pricing on vinyl plank.

This presence alone has drawn other logistics and distribution companies to set up shop in the area, solidifying Louisville’s reputation as a key logistics center in the U.S.Moreover, the automotive industry is making waves with Ford’s massive investment in the BlueOval SK Battery Park in nearby Glendale, Kentucky.

Are they durable for rentals?
