Naturally, my wife wasn't a fan of our rental investments after that experience.

You'll provide Chinese Hand Fans to the tenants at signing? 

I have an agent colleague in the Rochester area that deals frequently with investors.

Currently, the property is rented at $2100/month.The house, built in the 1900s, requires significant renovation, and the tenant frequently requests various repairs and maintenance, such as duct cleaning and appliance upgrades.

Beautiful laminate in the living and dining... new ceiling fans too.

A few days after moving in the tenant purchased a new ceiling fan for the bathroom because they were worried about mold.

New LVP flooring upstairs to replace all the carpet, new cabinets and countertops in the 2.5 bathrooms, new fiberglass shower in the guest bathroom, new walk in shower (tiled) in the master bathroom, next lights/sinks/faucets/toilets/etc in all bathrooms, new paint on kitchen cabinets, new pulls on kitchen cabinets, new ceiling fans throughout, and fresh paint throughout.

Properties rented for less than 15 days a year enjoy simple tax rules, while those rented more frequently face a complex set of tax obligations.

I also am a big fan of "The Weekend Millionaire's Guide to Real Estate Investing", by Mike Summey and Roger Dawson.  

The default mode of operation for mini-splits is to run the fan continuously 24/7, which causes high humidity because all of the condensation is being blown back into the building.You can get top tier mitsubishi units for cheap at surplus city liquidators.
