I currently put $1200 a month away for investing in real estate and my plan is to just add the cash flow to this and keep grinding.

I’ve found being better upfront about a zero tolerance policy on noise/parties force limiting number of guests accomplishes about 90% of what I need it to in screening out the cruft, then attaching a higher $800-$1000 deposit further filters those without the means to cover damages if they’re incurred.

Owning individually after 35 years plus getting your wife on board to the refi idea at all is just noise IMO. 

Newer and newer requirements are becoming mandatory slowly in design be it high energy efficiency, material which gives more light-air but blocks noise pollution, unhindered connectivity, better insulation, common areas designed for privacy.Which trends you think will be in future of construction specially in term of Design phase and Materials which will allow designers and developers to deliver future requirements.

Just keep in mind that it's a bit of a grind with a lot of calls.

I still have 2700 sq ft homes in Las Vegas where I'm collecting only $1800 per month for rent and my management company keeps telling me that is the maximum rent I can get.Just today, I had a house in Las Vegas in escrow and when the buyer saw his inspection report he backed out of the purchase because the air conditioner motor was making a lot of noise, because the previous tenant's dog urinated on every baseboard in the house and there was bubbles in the wood molding.

It seems that with the new batch of students coming in, there have been numerous noise complaints, which are billed to me at $55 (one man-hour) per incident.

Over the past year a few, maybe 5 properties out of 100 have been getting noise/party complaints.

As soon as I re-signed him, he started complaining about upstairs noise again.
