Sometimes tenants do something that attracts pests (eg food is improperly stored, trash and food are left out, etc.  

After a few nasty emails and him threatening to sue me if I left a bad review, I paid him in full, $7000 and moved on.

The only time is should have moved is when it left the manufacturers facility or dealership and when it is placed on the homesite.

The main challenge was ensuring all logistics aligned for a same-day flip, but preparation and collaboration with Archie made it seamless.

Explain.I really like this question for discussion Venice, but one very major factor left off is at what risk exposure. 

I filled up 4 dumpsters worth of trash, old carpet, furniture, and whatever other horrors the previous owners left behind.

Just as I was scrambling to figure that out, one of my tenants also moved out, leaving me with thousands in repairs and a vacant unit at the worst possible time.I had zero reserves left because I had just paid back the money I borrowed to close.

Second is that you can be disciplined enough to take the money that is left over and not spend it on "stuff" so that you can have it to put down on your next property that you are going to house hack and that you will do it when you get to your next destination this summer or fall.

Depending on the asset class, performance under each category aligns accordingly. 

Just make sure to run the numbers to ensure the rehab costs align with your cash flow goals for the rental.
