I bought a triplex in Albuquerque that the prior owner had removed the mailboxes at. 

Also, air conditioning removes moisture/humidity from the interior airspace, and nearly every home in the Carolinas runs AC during the warm months.Crawlspaces tend to be where the majority of problems occur.

Plus you can report on the people even to the limit of getting their sec8 status removed so the treat the property well so they can keep their section 8. 

If you're in an area with mainly young families or maybe an older generation who just want to live by themselves and not be bothered with people living in the same structure as them, then the home is probably less valuable.One thing I do with some of my investments is to convert it in a way that is easy to be removed.

--You can easily buy fake paystubs & W-2s off the internet, that are generated by Quickbooks, so they look 100% real.

Upgrades/repairs include:flooring (tile and carpet, entire house), painting (entire house), complete kitchen renovation with new appliances, cabinets, sink, lightingcomplete bathroom renovationsupgrade/replace ACupgrade/replace existing hot tub  upgrade/replace furniture/bedsupgrade/replace old pier with newadd new kayaks, paddle boards, and bikesI am thinking anything that is removable (furniture, appliances, water toys, bikes, pier, etc) could qualify as an asset for the LLC and thus be used as a tax expense for the LLC.  

It ended up costing us $50,000 in additional expenses across 25 windows because once we changed the windows, we had to bring the framing around the windows up to 2023 code - which required removing the already installed windows and reframing each window down to how the studs were strapped with metal straps down at the floor.  

As a long-time high-level Rentlinx.com user, the journey since Rentlinx.com removed its marketing offering roll it into AppFolio has been an absolute nightmare!

Watch out for hidden costs....you still have to "develop"(Utilites, tree removal, driveways, walkways, landscaping, fencing, grading, filing, digging, hookups, ect ect.) the lot before they can place the modular.

However if you want to generate more cash flow putting 15% down will help you because not only is it a lower montly payment but when you hit 20% equity they will remove your PMI.If you put down 5% I would stronly encourage you living in the Airbnb if possible and renting out the home so you can generate even more incomeIf you look at it like this it'll helpMonthly payment < Potential income + current rentIf you can move and reduce your cost of living that is always great at the bare minimum they should equal each other in my opinion because at least you'll have equity if the market you are choosing is a strong equity market.
