One of them hired a landscape guy, well, the landscape guy never came so I was paying $140 per month for nothing for about 7 months.The other property manager didn't tell the tenants they were responsible to replace the ac filter, that bill was $1000 to replace the AC fan motor.I am really afraid of blowing off the money.

We have even first-responder equipment ready (carpet fans, dehumidifier, puddle sucker pump etc) to deal with the issue quickly and curb the damage, before we get the contractors in to do the repairs.

Hey Spencer as a Seahawk fan I'd love to connect sometime!

So I'm a fan of buying in the path of progress from here since it's starting to expand outwards into cheaper neighborhoods.

Inside of drawers, ceiling fans, vents, cobwebs on the porch, etc.. 

I’m also a big fan BTR developments, especially horizontal apartments.

I am also not a big fan of collage photos.

If there was no appreciation, there is no need to do a 1031 exchange.I have never been a fan of condo's as you lose some control over the investment - You have no control over the monthly maintenance fees, you may not have control over who is on the board, you have no control over special assessments.I wish the investments turn out well for you!

I'd love to hear others' opinions on this but I am a fan of making the house as attractive as you can to a potential buyer, even if that adds cost. 

Things to consider when buying a new build are appliances, fans, blinds, and back yard landscaping; sometimes we can get appliances included, it just depends on the situation.
