It was a fantastic investment and great way to learn a lot about rehabbing and semi-passive investing.One thing you'll notice as you look around various neighborhoods is that most homes were built during the same era and in the same general size/style.  

It's unusual for the smaller tenants as it's incorporated as part of the rent, but some of the corporate tenants will pay tax semi or annually.

They make for long term tenants and tend to be excellent stewards of your buildings because not only do they want their residents to be in a good environment but also the state usually inspects them annually or semi-annually as may individual providers, guardians, and others.

Most products won't hold back that pressure will peel/fail.KDAT is a bit more costly, but is ready to coat with whatever you want immediately.I would use a semi transparent stain.  

We pay for semi-annual exterminations, since this is not the tenant's fault. 

My town is right on a major rail line, so we get them in frequently and they can be picked up with semi-trailers and delivered easily.
