I avoid it all together and just go with tile.

So I tried following that same pattern by trying not to have much contact with tenants or potential tenants and just having my assistant be the go between for everything.

@Michael NievesThere are rules about occupancy when you use a VA loan.Intermittent occupancy due to work is okay as long as you can show that you have a pattern of continuous residency in that community...

@Doug McVinua yeah I agree with the pattern of development in Phoenix.

Poor quality workmanship can really drive down the ARV on something, especially if it is important ie electrical, plumbing or obvious to the casual observer, ie crooked tile work.

If that red wall is redgard coating, and you're going to tile it, I'd say before you do that go all in: open the wall, and replace the whole valve with a modern one where the cartridge is easily replaceable.

The overhead lights are very cheap home depot specials I would use in a C rental but not in any flip regardless of location.In the 2nd bathroom, even on my phone not zoomed in I see grout or caulk missing in multiple places and some water damage on the lower course of tile.

Examples:January electric bill would be named "2018-01-25 - Shocking Electric - 123 Sample Street - OWNER" (because it's an owner bill, not a tenant)Lease for Jack Squat: "2016-02-01 - Lease Agreement - 123 Sample Street - Jack Squat"I follow this basic pattern for managing over 300 rentals and it works very well.Another great tool is to use a scanner with OCR software.

(Seller says that kitchen is updated, bathrooms are updated, and tile floors throughout.)

Think you'll have difficulty with most lenders and Tile Companies in trying to use a "Quit Claim Deed" in Texas.
