@Howard Cheng, Qualified and non-qualified use only applies to the period of time you owned your replacement property (the converted property). 

The contract says - RESIDENT agrees to keep the premises and all items in good order and good condition and to immediately pay for costs to repair and/or replace any portion of the above damaged by RESIDENT.3.

I love my W2 job and am not looking for replacement income, but I do want to diversify my investment portfolio in the real estate sector while keeping my focus on what I love and do best -- emergency medicine!

When you say the older vintage properties cash flow better I’m concerned you’re focusing in on properties  in areas that are below today’s replacement cost but in areas that cannot absorb the required capex.

The definition, like so many other words, has been replaced with what was that of desire. 

Blinds would typically fall in the wheelhouse of the tenant but some landlords do replace stuff like that.

I can build cheaper than I could replace but there is a time and stress factor to consider.

Is this a diy-fix, professional fix, or a complete replacement? 

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

My take as an insider is that it's because it's actually a much harder job than many might realize, and a consultative/ interpersonal/ hands on one that simply cannot be replaced easily with technology.
