Your deal analysis/price, your marketing, or your buyer pool are likely culprits. 

Maytag and Whirlpool are good imo.I personally also avoid ice makers and water dispensers.

It covers internet, water, trash, cable, and exterior (roof, siding, etc.).

Your PM replaced the water heater because it was leaking.

He used to troll these waters for suckers very hard until I found out that his claimed experience and transaction history was fake.

You may have a 1M policy, but 25K for mold limit.Cracked water pipe MAY be covered.

By improvements I mean that there is power, water and sewer/septic installed and working.

The city required the road to be extended a few feet, along with water and sewer.

However, I think some upcoming life changes may be the right opportunity for me to dip my toes in the water in real estate investing.I live in Pflugerville, TX (25 minutes from downtown Austin) and will soon be moving to Portland, OR, for my dream job.

For example, this can be adding square footage, adding an extra unit, or adding a pool in a STR market/luxury market.
