I like to post the rental on a Wednesday and then do showings on Saturday and Sunday by appointment in 30 minute intervals. 

IF, you do that structure of deal, you must require hardcopy receipts for all purchase to be remitted weekly or at some reasonable interval, before more supplies are purchase.

So, the longer the fixed-interval the better, but it is still a risk.THIS is exactly why PMI exists.

Alaire having FOCUS is key.Map out a long term destination and then plan for the smaller steps in between at shorter intervals.

I still think rental properties have a place in a portfolio for the 30-50 year horizon, but for cash flow in the 0-30 year interval notes make a great choice.Fred

From this you'll need to know how many houses (approx prices and total costs) you will invest in and in what intervals.

During those inspections check the fire extinguisher and change the smoke detector and carbon monoxide batteries (Unless they are those 10 year batteries then just test).Personally I would rather have them and have them documented to be working at proper intervals than not have them and experience a loss of life or full loss of property.

Do your homework by tracking census data, jobs reports, and trends related to a 1,3,5, and 10 year intervals to see if a market is truly growing or not.

. $30k isn't a lot (because you can only access 75% of it on an investment property refi), and capex such as roof and HVAC usually don't impress appraisers in terms of adding value to the home (these are just things that all homes have that need to be replaced at certain intervals, they aren't really much of an improvement in terms of appraised value).
