Meaning you may be able to do some cosmetic or smaller renovations like bathrooms or kitchens in your duplex when the tenants turn over and those smaller investments can demand higher rents, so in the longterm you may have more cashflow from the duplex to help fund a future investment in another property while you wait for market conditions to change.

Quote from @Chris Mason: They have simulators for heavy equipment operators: bulldozer, backhoe, etc.

Got this one for 30K, only needed floors and kitchen redone.

The rental had ratty furniture, a record player prominently featured in the marketing but it had no speakers, missing basics items in the kitchen, lots of drunks in the concrete hallways that reverberated right into the bedroom at 2am, a strong odor of urine outside, and more.We have super hosts in this forum that have hundreds of 5-star reviews and are masters of the craft, but I look at their rentals and see they don't have any artwork on the walls, decor is basic, they do nothing to make the guest feel welcome, etc. 

What is the best overall water metering company you have found when it comes to ease of installation, reliability, and the cost of the equipment and monitoring?

Large basement and attic space, new roof and some of the kitchen is already torn out from the current owner. one bedroom does have a closet that will need built. plumbing seems fine, maybe a couple angle stops to change.

We took a break from rentals here at the end of this year, going into next year, to redo our kitchen. 

Number of units, kitchens, etc.If these things were disclosed it would seem that things should be OK. 

Dr's, Nurses, Electricians, heavy equipment operators etc etc..
