Find distressed situations and try to help them alleviate their problem.

As David said, property management could alleviate your 24 hour availability concerns.

If you can find a good one that might help alleviate some of your worry around the distance.

Better to do it right the first time to alleviate any headaches later.  

@Rachel Pivonka well...it could get ugly, but you have done what you could do to alleviate the problem as quickly as possible.

I have come up with the following options so far:-install shower with glass block window with tile surround and bath vent fan (no idea as to how waterproof this may be)-demo old tub, wall off window, install prefab tub/shower combo and bath vent fan -reframe window to be much smaller and higher on the wall, leave existing tub, install tile surround and plumbing for shower-leave as is and hope tenants don't care about not having a showerIn most of these cases it seems to really just boil down to whether I want to have a window that can be opened to alleviate wet room moisture, or install a vent fan. 

Other benefits include low closing costs, however the first deal will take longer to close than normal as they get to know you.Hope this helps and alleviates your concerns about DP and variable rates and leads to your first apartment purchase!

This alleviates any issues of how to get a key to the renter and gives them the flexibility to arrive whenever they need to after a specified check-in time.

I will remove some of the dirt and most likely install a french drain to alleviate that problem as well.

I want to alleviate the stress of investing a little off of my mom and dad so in response I started to try to learn about investing, sometimes the principles just don't hit home though.
