Check on the property regularly to make sure it's not sitting vacant with a wide open door. 

I remember going to conferences in 2016-2018 and everyone was saying hold your cash there is going to be this huge dip and you can clean up..

The service company can attempt to extend its life by cleaning the condensing unit, replacing the aged AC capacitor and contact, and checking for R-22 levels.

All the mods are regular people (I think).

- Proactive Tenant Management – Focusing on a solid tenant screening process and keeping up with regular communication and maintenance has helped cut down on vacancies and avoid evictions.- Tech-Driven Operations – Using property management software for things like rent collection, maintenance requests, and communication has made everything smoother and saved a ton of time.- Curb Appeal & Upkeep – First impressions matter!

Save the money, clean it till it shines, maybe basic improvements like a few new light fixtures or at least matching/bright lightbulbs, maybe a few new faucets, some paint touch ups and sell.If you’re hiring a Realtor®, they can tell you pricing in current condition versus pricing with a few minor changes.

That means it gets hit with both regular income tax and self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare).

I'm on the fence with a mid grade carpet that gets replaced with each tenant, versus a higher quality that can stand up to stains and cleans well. 

We have a pretty solid lease that has served us well on our properties but on the most recent move-out by a long-term tenant that always paid early, we had to clean from floor to ceiling and everything in between. 

Can you keep it rented on a regular basis?
