First couple items you should think about.What type of properties like?

I just checked items off the list and was able to breath again.

I can see where simple items like roof and AC are must know, but more specific items tailored to houses that are not going to be owner occupied.

I gave them a room by room cleaning check list of each item that was cleaned before they moved in and instructed them to make sure those same items were cleaned when they moved out.  

Get your new management company to collect these items for you.

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid while still attempting to use vinyl flooring.This wasn't an issue when they built the house in that the floors were wood, and they breathed...no different than the first line item in building code exceptions §1203.4.2 which states "where warranted by climatic conditions, ventilation openings to the outdoors are not required if ventilation openings to the interior are provided"....but we aren't talking about code here, we're talking about solutions to an existing problem without spending a ton of money.

If I don't consider them, how will these other items be funded?

Shopping for REI properties is not like going to the bigbox stores and picking items off the shelf. 

@Nicholas Catania I think @Steve Bracero gave some good answers.There are essentially three big picture items you're looking to find out about any investment prospect before digging further...1> Do the numbers work for you?
