Ben Burket here from the Finger Lakes region in NY.  

For $2.6 million, you could buy a shopping center or a Walgreens building and NNN lease it for 5.5%-6% and not lift a finger. 

Fingers crossed! 

RVM is technically illegal unless you have permission, still I've been getting them more and more.Anyone that texts me or sends RVM just gets a middle finger emoji response, then is blocked.

I am in Rochester, NY, about 45 minutes from the beautiful Finger Lakes area, where I am looking. 

Perhaps we're best putting the house in an irrevocable trust and crossing our fingers that we won't have any need to apply for Medicaid in the next five years.

I have dark cabinets at my personal residence and I find those harder to keep clean (same with dark floors) they show finger prints, dust etc a lot more.For the fittings I think it's entirely dependent on your overall design and color paletteFor the shower and bath definitely avoid any shower that is not 1 piece (very prone to leaks) or tiled.

So fingers crossed.

I'm just not going to throw down $100k on a property and cross my fingers.

Treat it like a business and kindly remind them of the lease terms and what they're expected to pay for the damage.Not billing them, crossing your fingers that the next 4 months go well and deducting the damage from their security deposit actually poses more risk.
