As a real estate investor, when staying at hotels, do you find yourself naturally drawn to examine the plumbing fixtures and other products/materials used by the hotel industry?

I'd examine if properties are appreciating before assuming you can sell it for $90K to $100K.

Man it feels good and exciting and nerve-wracking to finally have made the jump to becoming a rental property owner at age 26.Hoping to connect with some like-minded individuals moving forward!

@Dion DePaoli Seems like this hits a nerve for you!  

Next would be the walkthrough to examine your baseboards and thermostats, check weatherstripping on windows and doors, etc.If anything else pops into my head on the morning run, I'll be back ;)
