Second, I'm a rule follower when it comes to permits.

By the way, 3 of the 4 have been rented since I owned the property so yes I suppose the 75% rule could apply then.

There are plenty of ways around an HOA but they tend to break the rules that you committed to following.

The odors are not always easy to eliminate within the normal apartment turnover routine.

@Bryan Cavellier While you certainly can do that, there are different state rules and laws to be aware of.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

Raising money is easy; managing assets is hard.

There really isn't a market that meets the 1% rule.

Guest mode is pretty cool once you get it setup.Super easy for Roku TV's and I won't have any other type of TV in the rentals. 

Not every state or city mandates that any landlord has to accept Section 8, because the landlord has to not only subject their property to Section 8 inspections, rules and regulations, they also often have to separately arrange for the tenant to pay the non-covered part of the rent and can face difficulty evicting just based on that.
