Like others I will focus on bids on plumbing, electric wiring, fire protection circuit board, safety, railing. 

Cash flow today (though it’s nice as a buffer and margin of safety...) and more focused on acquiring great located assets that are lifelong holdings.

Tax free, hazardous duty pay, 10% Deployment Savings Plan, etc.

Speculating on property values going up - especially in today's market - is likely no less hazardous than trying to play the stock market.

That is why you have an independent property inspection and have anything that would effect the integrity of the property or be a potential hazard addressed by the turn key company before closing. 

(Disclaimer:  for those of us who have no sense of humor, this was an attempt at humor and no way should be construed as being in any way discriminatory.)According to the article:"It doesn’t apply to sex offenders or people who have a criminal conviction that, after an “individualized assessment,” shows that denial based on the conviction “is necessary to protect against a demonstrable risk to personal safety and/or property of others affected by the transaction.”You'll have to obey your local laws, and do an 'individualized assessment'. 

Not only does this help to ensure the safety of everyone in the unit, but can also help to determine how they will treat your rental property and if you will get paid on time.

I like the safety of being able to exit at the end of 4-5 years and the refinance option to cash out of just refinance for cash flow.

It usually asks about underground tanks and have hazardous materials been stored there.
