I am in @Chris Clothier  camp on this one.. a measure of a rental property in a given market needs to be done in year 3.. with a report on year 1 and 2.buying a rental and reporting rents for the first year is quite misleading.. as the first tenant is brand new the house is brand new.. and 80% of the time or more the first year is a cream puff  LOL.so for those that watch along and say hey I am going to see what happens in the first 6 months and if its good I am going to jump in.. well that simply is not enough time in this business to fully understand a property or an area or PM company.. we are all rock star's first year or so.Chris often mentions those that given one year rental guarantee's  he will say  ya ask them to guarantee year 3..

It had the old cream city brick basement that was not in good shape.

One of my tenants has 7 children and they are very respectful, A/B students, involved in church so one time I brought them all ice cream from the ice cream truck.

The market tenant wants to assignee the lease of only 3 years remaining to an ice cream retailer, but the ice cream retailer wants to have 1 option of 5 years.

For lower end stuff, the off-the-shelf Sahara Desert Sand paint from Walmart is cheap and a decent lightish beige.On nicer places with better paint I've used Kilim Beige and Ice Cream, both shades look great.

The product looks like white shaving cream. 

Turns out it was a tub of old cream cheese.

(Had a young tenant who put gas in an ice cream plastic bucket with a lid to clean paint brushes!

This journey is all peaches & cream like someone in "Alice in Wonderland."2.
