To give you an idea of how we approach it, we assume the worst-case scenario right from the start is 9-12 months of no rent, $5,000 in legal fees, and an additional $5,000 in expenses to deal with moving their stuff, putting it in storage, and dealing with health code violations or NOV's from the city during the process. 

Last thing thougt of is have a little box of books and toys for little kids parents always appreciate it. 

Does anyone know a property manager that supports small self-storage rentals in addition to residential rentals?

Additionally, since my parents are nearing the retirement age, I'd like to prioritize low-debt, high-cashflow deals.

The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I've opened two additional LLC's with them since I last posted here.

Best to call city hall for the town you are buying in to see what if any rent control rules are in place. see link below if you require additional information and call the Jersey City Landlord Tenant relations office. https://www.jerseycitynj.gov/cityhall/HousingAndDevelopment/...Jersey City CPI chart on recommended rent increases: https://cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server...The state with the highest eviction rate in the country right now is South Carolina. 

Might be an additional cost there.If units are updated, capex items look good, leases and tenants look solid, and there are no other regular expenses besides the 5200 in insurance/property taxes then I like this deal.  

THEY ARE NOT LIMITED TO ONE PROPERTY.So, they can 1031 to 2 or more additional properties OR 1031 into a rental property plus a DST so that all the profits are used up in the exchange.
