So, I'd like to get ahead of the game and start working up a plan and a strong argument for it which I can use when the time comes. 

I agree with you and @Doug Smith because I been laughed away enough to realize that aint the game anymore. 

Others noted that the appreciation play could make it worth keeping, I tend to look more heavily on appreciation since real estate investing is more of a long term game.

@Edward Toomey V I feel like this is a frustration for us all in the property management game.

Throw in some washers and dryers in the units—it's a game-changer.

My future game plan is looking to buy a condo with 50% down payment and pay it off within 3 years.

I suggest having smart TVs and let them log into their own accounts, preferably with a guest mode so they auto-log out after a certain number of days.For catering to families, I would concentrate on providing amenities like puzzles and games. 

That's their whole game!

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.  

Negotiating felt like a game of chess—except I was playing against a grandmaster, and my queen was missing.
