If the laundry gets hot or cold, I would add ac/heat.

The issue seems to be that apartment owners don't want to be bothered, even though EV charging is an amenity like a tanning booth, pool, deck, hot tub, laundry area or whatever.

Got hot today. 

Honestly, as sexy as it sounds to be active and go after them on your own, as a rookie, even with some book education, the real world can knock you on your azz so I would suggest going with a very experienced and proven sponsor.

Affordable housing is still a hot topic.

If its the trendy hot areas, or general "path of progress" and your able to make a trip and go drive around to find that "path" its really the best way. 

Have done tons of cleanouts on evictions too, nothing surprises me anymore on how some people can live.The hot water tank had things growing in the hot water overflowing, the refrigerator was tucked in a back shed area where everything inside had liquified. 

for example when changing cabinets, addressing trim, door pulls. hot water tank replacement: place a pan under it.  

Sherman and Denison are hot spots for sure.
