I hope things start improving here in Davenport, my goal isn't to trash our city...

I understand there are other reasons to consider that are not in the equation, i.e. tax planning and long-term benefit, improving cash flow over time, and equity gain.

I’d love to hear more about what kind of improvements were made to the property and how long the project took from purchase to sale.

Between forced appreciation on general improvements on the property and the capacity to add an additional residential structure, the sky was the limit on value growth.

Save religiously, improve your credit, and pay off any outstanding debts you may owe. 

Also, how're you improving the property while you're there to help cash flow when you move out? 

So, vacations, home improvements, etc. until they put the fish back in my barrel. 

For the rentvine, work orders can use some improvements, in my opinion.

If I/we had started buying investment properties (even 1 a decade) it would greatly have improved our financial wellbeing.Learn from my regret

If I was going to improve on one thing, I could certainly tighten up my turnover process and make units ready to rent again a little faster or even advertise a little ahead of when they are ready.
