I doubt Cavaozs is on the cut list any time soon if ever. 

.: It sounds like you have a great system down, and I am sure that you can find some handymen that are in the area doing part-time work and then working at a day job that could be pushed into full-time work on your properties.

A strong buyers market indicates sellers price cutting and listings being bought under value which would lead to equity losses. 

A really nice home with some extra touches (a little granite, better flooring, nicer paint job, nicer cabinets, etc.) compared to the area will make potential tenants fall in love with the place.  2) Tenants that bring or can swing their own appliances are more financially stable (or just stable in general, ha!)

In essence, they created another job for themselves.

Seems like you have done a good job.

You can give notice to one of the tenants, then move in and rent out rooms to further cut your living expenses.Yes, something I've considered but does require me to move from CA to TN, so big life change. 

Lawn cutting/snow removal you can get quotes for, plan for some vacancy, property management software if you will use any.Hope this helps.

Those agents who are competent and good at what they do will have jobs for a long time.

Ive already started looking further out to do BRRR/Flips as this is one of those jobs I cannot really afford to lose, having it will help me a lot in the long run.
