That's no big deal if it's just a room being used as a bedroom, but imagine ripping out that nice kitchen and bathroom you put in!

Nice people, knowledgeable people, but less diligent on the PM side. 

We are excited to be in the Lowcountry and can't wait to experience nice weather year around.I have recently retired from my previous job and am thinking about getting into Real Estate full time.

The hardest thing in 2024 is finding cashflow though, most of the nice areas have very low COC if you can even find positive but its always better to start then never get your foot in the door

@John Bertolon, this is one of the many challenges with being a landlord: your tenants have an expectation that you will provide them a safe and nice place to live.  

I'd just make clear private entrances, parking spaces, separate patios, etc. 

I had to come out of pocket to fix the rest which came as a surprise to me, because many of these items are not what I'd consider a "nice to have", but are necessary.Of the properties that you've bought from them, did you have to pay for additional fixes?

We don't allow access to our garage as we have a lot of stuff for the house stored there, but having some cool game area in there or more storage would be nice.

Nice base hit!

I have a place in Denver CO and my property taxes are around $1200 per year for about 900sq/ft$1200 per year is pretty nice!
