That's what we're working on now... one or two sources, same general requirements (stainless steel vs black, ice maker or no, top-down vs side by side, etc). 

That being said, I've been searching for something that would deliver a similar cash on cash return (not concerned with appreciation as that would just be icing on the cake) located in Suffolk/Nassau.

My thoughts why drive north for a few hours and worry about the snow if I can fly south for 2 hours and find a good market and not deal w ice and snow..

I only want to look at appreciation as the "icing" on the cake (unless we're talking forced appreciation).

I recently read that appreciation should be seen as the icing on the cake, not as the reason to invest.

I am a long term hold focused cash flow focused investor, equity is just icing for me.

At the same time, I am worried that “free” utilities will mean the heat is kept at a tropical level or they’ll make a ice rink in the back.

Their plan is to move out now and repay the missing funds after they receive a settlement from a slip-and-fall they had after the HOA didn't properly maintain the parking lot which turned into an ice rink last January.I'm trying not to gouge anyone going through a REALLY rough time, but what is the process for collecting the back rent from Mom & Dad and/or The Daughter?

@Eric Patrick OdenThanks for the tip, though appreciation is just the icing on the cake, right?

Of course there is snow and ice which can be a liability for a landlord.
