I like RentSpree because the prospective tenant can upload all of their docs into the system and the system auto-emails all references to confirm.

Are there separate mechanicals for each unit?

Checking account auto sweeps to pay down the principal which saves a ton of interest over time. 

But larger repair items such as appliances and mechanical, plumbing, electrical, roof windows doors etc should still fall under the landlord's responsibility.

You have a mechanical skillset you are perfecting so you will always have your trade to barter for access.

I work 10-11 hour days in the auto industry so by the time I get home it is around 9 PM which is no excuse but I then wake up at 6 AM to stay swole as you have said is important.

I should have also added that the reason I am pulled towards real estate as a wealth generating mechanism (I.e. the appreciation aspect) is that I bought my first house with ~$20K of my own money in Baltimore (supplemented with 6K of grants), bought at the right time and did a little fixing it up, used the proceeds from sale of Baltimore home to get into the lower end of the market in quickly appreciating Seattle.

I often find that, when talking about future possibilities, and the mechanics of behavior and the economy, often end with with an open ended conversation.

Why are you re-installing mechanicals on vacant properties - after they've been stolen?
