The plan would be to switch to Rinnai heaters fed by propane, as that is what is heating the fourth unit. 

Even with mortgage rates near historical lows, limited wage growth, stricter loan standards, and high student debt loads have made it difficult for many to take the plunge.The apartment vacancy rate was 4.2 percent in the fourth quarter, hovering close to a 13-year low, according to property-research firm Reis.

Some states also have laws just on abandonment of property and set fourth specific guidelines and regulations on what you can do as a landlord with a tenants property.

You make money in the real world, my suggestion to you would be to stick to the educational side of this site, believe me biggerpockets is the #1 website to gaining knowledge on REI....Dont waste your time typing back and fourth with people that have different goals and visions than you.

I saw that happen in San Diego in the mid-90's for instance because of downsizing in the military.I read a lot of quarterly reports from REITS and one very smart thing I think they do is look at their cost of capital versus the market cap rate. 

I bought 3/4 inch solid oak hardwood on closeout for $2 psf at the local flooring store (vs $4-5 psf at Home Depot) and I’ve got an install quote at $2-2.50 psf including quarter round trim.

Once a quarter (Jan 1, Apr 1, July1, Oct 1), Airbnb evaluates certain milestones to determine if you've reached Superhost status.

I have a substantially sized shop for a backyard and have turned a room in it into my living quarters.  

The property is a 3/2.5 that needs moderate rehab; can easily add a fourth bedroom and turn the half bath into a third full, update the kitchen and bathrooms, move the laundry from the kitchen to a dedicated laundry room, throw up some paint and other cosmetic stuff.

30 a quarter.
