If your statement is true, anyone doing work on their own house would be getting sued by their own insurance companies for weekend projects gone wrong.Sorry, not sure if I clarified anything on this or just muddied the waters more.  

If you haven't done any projects yet, you're going to have to test the waters on the first one.  

Mitchell is simply stunning and a vacation haven for rentals.An unrenovated cabin anywhere in this area with a great mountain or water views can easily command $250-$300/night and up.  

What did the inspector say about the condition/age of the HVAC and water heater/ roof?

I've just finished my 50-ton, though it's more for deliveries and warm-water sailing gigs than hard sea time.

With a project we have considers using shipping containers as an alternative to brick-and-water (due to delivery cost we parked that idea for another day).

The water heater which looked good was shot.  

There are two conflicting thoughts here, to me:-One says that you are limiting the number of people interested in the condo because they won't be able to rent it out, thus lowering the prospect pool and price.

Currently our water heater is outside in small room not very ideal.My goal is to get started anyway possible and to accumulate properties for rentals. 

All in investment from $60- $80K and what tends to be a better tenant pool.
