If your time is more valuable because of existing family, lifestyle or work requirements, passive investing is the right choice.Similarly, if you want to maximize short-term cash flow from a 'disposable' house (one that you will sell to another investor at or below the same price you paid), look for those types of houses, neighborhoods or markets. 

You are right, rents are also bound to disposable income.

This doesn't mean I wont fix the A/C if it goes out, but it does mean they are not allowed to complain that there is not a garbage disposal or screen door.4. 

My partner and I are looking to flip it and want to replace the siding which has some wear and tear.Does anyone have good referrals to handle safe removal, disposal without burning the bank.ThanksSunny

What I've been considering is installing a few "smart outlets" (outlets with usb plugs as well), a dishwasher, a garbage disposal in the kitchen sink, new LED light bulbs throughout, and some light caulk work. 

I have the VA loan at my disposal and am targeting small MFH in better school districts (considering Loyalsock, Montoursville, and South WIlliamsport)  as I would like to house-hack and will have kindergartner next year.

In the book he mentions that when he takes over a property that he will put Section 8 tenants in, he immediately takes out the washer/dryer, Garbage Disposal, Ceiling Fans and Screen Doors.If it's not there when the Section 8 applicant or inspector comes through....then they have no reason to expect it.

Most professionals were charging $2000-$5000 to certified a 3rd bedroom and inspect the septic and the disposal area.

The buy offer was made stronger because "Buyer agrees to dispose of any personal property left in the house, barns or on the property after closing".
