Years ago we didn't require it and just recommended it to the tenant, but it's so cheap and gives our insurer something/someone to abrogate against should we have to make a claim that we don't allow it to be optional anymore. 

I'm cheap. 

The list goes on.For mission-critical items, you want quality, not cheap.

Again, see question #1.Selling as-is means selling it cheap, no hassle, quick sale.

The first indication is you spent $290k for $1800 cash flow or a 0.62% monthly ratio.Rent $1800 - PITIH $1480 - $180 (pm) - $90 (vacancy at 5% which is lowest i ever allocate in my underwriting and likely low per the OP description of a lot of new development) = $50 for all other expenses.Maintenance/cap ex on 4/2, 2100’ will exceed $300/month even in cheap labor markets on sustaining basis.  

There are many ways to buy cheap elsewhere but still lose your shirt. 

One posted about buying a cheap quad,  i used her bumbers provided and my maintenance/cap ex to show negative $600/month.  

You could get workers for USD $3 per day to cut brush.Local produce is relatively cheap. 

Ditch the cheap shower surroundPlease don’t buy that cheap five-piece shower surround that you saw at Home Depot or Lowe’s.

@Gamal Harding you forgot that it's never fast enough for tenants or cheap enough for owners:(
