My father was totally nuts and he had my mother handle paying all the bills.

They can drive you nuts with repair requests and with vacationers they will want it fixed immediately.Personally I turned people down who wanted to sublease my house a few blocks from a marina. 

Housing across the US is nuts

Most people look at the price tag of these bills and that is where they negotiate and keep stuff like this as the low hanging fruit. 

In that time, say things go nuts again here and I'm ready to sell.

I am not sure that the deal can be fruitful for any type of loan until after you post some serious numbers for your project from date of purchase to date of re-sale.

But the active listings is still half of what it was this time two or three years ago, so it's still nuts.)5.

That said, with the added bonus of fruit trees & garden space you may find a like-minded longer term renter. 

I joined them to learn more of the nuts and bolts and to help others get on the multifamily path.
