Current lease has size limits for both but it's time to reconsider- are size limits enough or scratch them all together?

Screen tenants thoroughly, have a solid lease, and maintain an emergency fund for unexpected expenses.

But if you're holding long term with no plans to sell in near future - better to get them leased up!

I am only familiar with the contract in my state but items seller agrees to do based on inspection findings are their responsibility unless spelled out differently.  

If you are just looking to invest your money then make a 1,2 or 5 year financial plan. work that back as much as you can hopefully into daily action items or at least weekly goals.

Any luck on motivating realtors in the area to actually get operating expenses/lease agreements for Jackson County specifically George?

(You know you’re on the right track and you insure future leases end between March and July by varying the length of the new lease.)Good luck. 

Find a renter, qualify them, move them in, collect rent, oversee repairs, re-sign leases, move them out, turn the unit, rinse and repeat.

One important item to note about bids: most smaller contractors are terrible at estimating.

Most new construction deals require you to give up to a 10-year warranty on some items while most fix and flips come with very little extended liability after the sale excluding gross negligence which is not stopped by an LLC in any case.
