They frequently have vacancies because no one wants to do it.  

I travel frequently for work and plan to Airbnb the home while I'm away. 

@Fan Bi The driving factor has been the cost of buying multi-families.

Please tell me you are a Spartan fan!

Same with the AC, Cleaned the coils inside and out and replaced a faulty fan motor but did not replace it so I'll need the cap-ex money eventually.  

Basically just write out what kind of investing you want to do (flipping, wholesaling, buy and hold, etc), when do you want to invest (now, 6 months from now, in a year), how frequently do you want to invest (one house a year, one house a month, etc.), where you want to invest, what kind of properties do you want to invest in, and so forth.

@Jim Welch,I don't do flips, but I would suggest putting large ceiling fans in all the rooms... people LOVE ceiling fans!   

It was getting cold he said ok I also explained to him the outside ac  fan had a Edison summer saver plans which turns the fan off at certain times he under stood but wanted the box off so I called Edison And had the box taken off problem solved .a week after  i got a call from tenents saying they got a message via text from the water company stating continuing runner water possible leak.so I went noticed they were running a swamp cooler 24/7 they said the ac bill was high so weve been using a swamp cooler,and they filled up a above ground pool .i asked them did they call the water company to let them know of the pool fill up they said they didn’t.i called the water company to talk to them about the running water text my tenants got and explained to them  they run a swamp cooler that runs on the water faucet and they fillled a pool ,and all the household water use from  big family.the water company said that’s why there getting that text.they also said that for me to talk about there account water usage they have to call and give permission so I asked the tenants they refused.its gets better,I get another call from the tenants now sayin one of the toilets are making a noise.so thinking the worst I go just a stuck handle.so while I was here I th ought I might as well change out  all fill valves and floaters for all three bathrOoms so I did.was there a few hours making sure they were running properly and leaks.i remind you that was on a  Thursday.on Monday my tenants send me a bill via picture text from  a plumber saying all toilets leaking cleaned out all fill valves because they were clog and put in new flappers leak fixed.i asked the tenants why’ didn’t he cal l me he  had no excuse,so  I called the plumber he said they clogged  and he cha changed the flappers.so i come  Back how’s that if I just put all of that new four days Pryor on Thursday he couldn’t answer me free.now im getting I’m not  paying  my water bill because of the leak.now they sent me there water bill .with previous charges from there old residents claiming it as part of  a leak.do they think I’m stupid,there clearly trying to scam me.they won’t  Give me permission to talk to the water company and  the plumber is his good friend.

They also shouldn't be trying to turn over units too frequently to make more money on tenant placement.

So I take it you're not a fan of the parquet?
