Hi @Jomar Edwin Benoit, I’m from Chicago and currently living in NW Indiana.

Minimizing PITA (simplepassivecashflow.com/pita): No more managing tenants, vacancies, maintenance and the managing the manager (who is a $12-20 dollar employee who's conspensation structure us not aligned with your goals) By passing the control of the day to day operations to true experts who are literally partners (direct alignment of compensation and motivations), you can assure the investment is being optimized while you spend your time on what you want which is 1) making more money at your day job, 2) spending time with your family or 3) finding that one off deal that you want to do one your own while pairing with a Limited Partner strategy. 2.

Having a very thorough process (credit score requirement, no felonies, income requirement, etc.) is what will make this the most successful; then pairing it with a solid lease that outlines expectations defining "common spaces" cleanliness, expectations around cleaning, etc. 

Usually you pair a cost segregation study with REP status.

I'm an engineer, so I did most of it myself.I have optimized the energy consumption of my system by pairing it with a multispeed pool pump which only uses 200W when moving water through the condenser when the A/C is running.Feel free to contact me and I'll be happy to talk with you in more detail.

Get a cheap pair of crutches and kind of hobble around on them in the parking lot.  

I find 1-2 bedrooms with 1.5-2 baths is ideal for them because they frequently travel in pairs - and have pets!

The windows were heavy, custom sized budget vinyl, no one else would have a need for them (and the pair is only $325 new).

You could get locks that pair up to your phone to send individual codes to each guest, use door bell cameras and be responsive. 90% of being a good host is responsiveness to guests - inquires, problems and general communication.
