What if by the time I post there is almost nothing on the market in a comparable location of a comparable quality?

However, professional remediation is essential for quality results, complete documentation, and assurance that the job meets industry standards.

I thought I was simply starting a dialogue on what qualities make a good MTR as I don’t know.

You're already thinking about long-term benefits, and it's great that you're bringing your contractor husband's expertise into the equation.To alleviate some of the stress, I recommend starting by focusing on quality properties in solid areas where you can add value.

On paper looks great, in reality too much hassle, not as great quality tenants, and what you're seeing: too much competition. 

You can use Quickbooks and have an account for each LLC (best quality/ease of use software, but most expensive) or WaveApps.As for CC it is somewhat personal decision.

If you are on a tight budget, a high quality sheet vinyl is also decent.

Of course you have your own guys, so that saves you a lot in labor, as I’m assuming you’re getting decent quality for good prices paying them direct.

AirBnB has been a really good source of quality leads.

I spent a year in Fort Sill, and I don't think I could name one redeeming quality about Lawton other than houses are cheap.
