Dont rack up a ton of unnecessary student loan debt, especially on something that isnt going to make you any more money if you want to work for yourself.

A reserve is unnecessary, but I still keep around $15,000 - $20,000 in my account.The point is, you should sit down and assess your personal finances to determine what the worst-case scenario may look like, how much you would need to cover it without impacting your life, and whether you will need to build a reserve. 

I have done it for 3 years and even though I actually get very few maintenance calls, I’m tired of it and I’m going to put it on the market.It’s very hard to diagnose things based on what tenants report - this leads to unnecessary trips and even if something IS wrong, you don’t tend to have the right parts with you to fix it... 3hours - don’t do it!

Well, for one, it cuts out the unnecessary middlemen who just end up inflating fees, eating into the pockets of passive investors like us.

If you are just starting out with a short 1 page lease and don't plan to expand soon, this may be unnecessary.

But more important than amenities or number of bathrooms, travel nurses want to feel at home and comfortable and welcomed, instead of dealing with a nosy micromanaging landlord, unnecessary demands, suspicions or accusatory attitude, etc.No doubt I’d be prefer a 2bd/ 2ba, but I think the monthly rent will attract plenty of nurses willing to share a bathroom, and I don’t need to rent all 3 rooms for the deal to work out for me financially.

Another unnecessary improvement, but something I really liked, so my personal taste got in the way of my investor sense.

We (my wife and I) went into the apartment and we were totally underwhelmed - the apartment was small, which we already knew, but it appeared even smaller than it really was because of the way the tenant had cramped an unnecessary amount of furniture and decorations into the place.

Cut down on unnecessary bills.

This was stuff about the ducts themselves how they were installed wrong and told them to reach out to us so that he could fix it today… I feel like this was completely unnecessary and just an attempt to get more work.
