I don't know if this will make you feel any better but even if the roof pancakes flat the interior and exterior walls should support that weight, even though (of course) the house will be totally uninhabitable until the entire roof structure is rebuilt.

Now I really value good active maintenance, so, I think it just makes sense to pay my tenants an active maintenance voucher of about $4,500.00 per month, per sleeping room, for quality upkeep being done. 

They are older and tired of the up keep.

Thanks for sharing it.While not exactly the same, I have had trouble with local building department pushing their weight around. 

Never took depreciation or upkeep/capital improvement expenses on schedule E but always claimed full rent income.

Routine inspections while a tenant occupies the property can be conducted every three to six months and will allow you to stay on top of maintenance and address any issues with the upkeep of the property.

The constant booking of tenants, cleaners, and upkeep of amenities and great photography would be my struggle!

I recently purchased the book How To Invest In Real Estate and so far i have gotten to chapter 2 but just from what i have read, it’s full of really good information and stresses so hard to be consistent which I already am because of my own personal hobbies like weight lifting and skateboarding.

I don't expect it will cost much on an annual basis for the upkeep and repair of the retention pond.    

You want your weighted risk return (current return - risk free rate of return) - which if rates go up, govt bond yields go up which means your returns should adjust accordingly.
