Doing that bit of pre-work might be the difference for a buyer being able to move forward.

For example:-A tenant complained about the AC not cooling, so I replaced the entire unit with brand-new equipment.

Get a different & hopefully better asset, and re-strategize.

What are the biggest challenges people have faced with this. Also how do I make sure to get good tenants?

In Milwaukee the weather can get pretty cold and we want to protect the tenant, but also the pipes in the property from freezing.For that reason we do have a stockpile of emergency equipment which includes electric space heaters.

Structurally, it’s different.

Now I'm not gonna be Mr Tour-guide for any/all who want to stop out and just look around but if you go through the steps and are serious, we have built out acquisition strategy HECK-YEAH I'm gonna say come-on-out and we'd carve out some time to do market tours together AND I'd equip you to do some self study/exploration. 

Contributing to a Solo 401(k) or SEP-IRA can reduce taxable income, and Section 179 or bonus depreciation lets you deduct equipment costs upfront.

Through connections with people in various markets, I was able to establish short-term rentals internationally, manage properties in different states, and diversify my investments in a way I hadn’t initially planned.A lot of these opportunities came from contacts I made over time.
