These funds would be used for new high efficiency a/c systems, new windos, new APPLIANCES, and new low flow toilets.4.15% cash on cash.

Also once house is cash flowing same thing, how can I charge and pay myself  for toilets, sinks, water heaters etc…? 

I have a leaking toilet drain and I'm looking for a good, reliable plumber in the greater Boston, MA area.

I have never had anyone steal toilet paper, that I am aware of.

but we all know how that panned out.Personally, I don't have Warren Buffet-like piles of cash that I can risk on speculative investments, so my strategy is to go for property that will cashflow enough to protect me from unanticipated problems, but in markets I think have decent appreciation potential...but none of my plans require appreciation to pencil out (doing that would be speculation).Good luck out there!

As well, dish storage in an island is not practical whereas pots and pans would easily work across from the stove, even better perhaps hanging from a pot holder above the island.

Yes there is less square footage, but a new toilet is still a new toilet. 

Can also consider investing in different asset classes or partner with other folks to continue to get a return on your money without dealing with the tenants, toilets, trash and other headaches

It could include a few sentences about letting water drip during freezing weather so the pipes don't freeze, how to turn off the water to the toilet, and a few basic other things.

My toilet in one of my tenants' rooms was running for about half of the month.
