I had it customized to my business with a developer.

I think the convivence factor for the customer isn't there. 

I replied, asking him to send me pictures, and I would get back to him.My understanding is that if the area is in bad shape, I need to maintain it.

Whereas in reality it was the opposite, work wasn't getting done, I was getting pictures of small sections of home that looked like he was working on,  he wasn't paying the crew and even had random women living in my place with alcohol bottles and ramen noodles all around.

We're currently shifting gears to custom and semi-custom homes. 

LICENSE AND FEES $8000, CUSTOMIZATION OF THE HOME $5,0000, CONTRACTORS (I HAVE NOT IDEA JUST FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD $5-$10,000 BECAUSE THERE ARE NO HEAVY LIFTING, CRANES OR HEAVY TOOLS), AND LETS DO $10,000 FOR EMERGENCIES.

Ideally you want to make sure it's near a major highway so tenants have easy access points to their customer base, especially with the trade type tenants like plumbers, HVAC etc.   

Picture the look  on your face when your Insurance Company denies the claim.

I do know that the more complex/custom you make it, the harder it is to maintain.   

Also, accounting/ metrics are a BIG DEAL because we have a property management company so we need more features to customize reports and look at accurate revenue data.
