For example:-A tenant complained about the AC not cooling, so I replaced the entire unit with brand-new equipment.

If you have a nice unit I would try to max it out if possible!

My advice is look for a good 2-4 unit investment property that my be a little outdated or need some TLC/renovations. 

I am looking to purchase around a 150k unit.

It is just laughable when places have regulations like a homeowner can only have a certain number of STR listings by the law but these big name companies suddenly start with 20 units in the first month.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

In regards to selling an apartment building with 20 units and selling single family homes.

It is a 3 unit airbnb portfolio with each unit in a different city.

i think, in their defense, if you find BP as a new investor, sometimes you start at the beginning - the earlier podcasts, the webinars where Brandon looks at a random duplex on Zillow and it "cash flows" $250 per unit every time. 

Also, since you are new to finding tenants and renting, should you get someone who damages your unit, probably not a big deal since you haven't renovated it yet.
