After listening to @Brandon Turner and @davidgreene do the recap it is true that you sharing your story will save BP member millions of dollars.

I know a lot of CA investors doing MTR/STRs to cash flow in-state and OOS but it's a lot more work, not mailbox money.I hear stories of OOS investors losing money in the Midwest, the worst being a CA investor buying 3 apartment Class C complexes in Missouri who finally sold it 3 years year with all the repairs and tenant issues after changing PMs which didn't help.

The views are relatively similar, it is a 2 story complex.

i also had HVAC mystery issues in my first duplex when we house hacked it.Regarding the Daikin Mini Split - I have one in the 3rd story of my current home and it seems to work great for us. 

., have a clause that makes your policy invalid if the property is vacant for more than 30 days.- Check with your insurance agent ASAP.You'll need to file a claim and get a claim number.Try to get an insurance adjustor in ASAP, so you can start pumping water out, removing all water damaged drywall and get dehumidifiers in. - Note: the insurance company's adjustor will try to minimize your claim amount.

that is more a RV park. the MBH parks down here. we typically own the land, lot, and trailers. there is a reason but long story short, if i just own the lot and they dont pay the fee. i do not have the biggest teeth to push the need for my money. but if i own it all, my experience says it is a better path

Build, Rent, Refinance, Repeat and doing it in 3 zips where margins are good. 3 story walk up infill. most markets don't have low priced inventory and new construction sells at premium. look in your local market and see if that strategy works or the economics exist. our main market is Columbus Ohio. don't give up

I also have separate damage protection from my channel manager (OR), but you can get it from Waivo and some others. ive just heard too many horror stories and i bake the price of coverage into my rental costs.

There are choices at every turn that form the story.

Quote from @Rafael Valdor: I hear horror stories about renters all the time, but that doesn't mean all renters are bad.
