The basement houses seperate washer and driers.

As Tom said, when you live on the edge, if one of your properties goes vacant, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down.Now there are some people who have built RE empires faster than the rest of us by being extremely gutsy and extremely lucky.

Tile, although more expensive, for sure makes up for it in being able to stand the rough and tumble from the tenants.

Then, it's STILL up to you if you "change your mind later" - especially seeing as how, even when you DO come to an agreed figure, it may all come tumbling down after your due diligence results.By the way, what makes you think the Seller MUST lower their agreed sale price if the appraisal comes in lower?

That way you know it's done right and it's not going to go tumbling out of the window and bean the neighbor's kid looking for Pokemon in your yard.

To be clear "home warranty company" refers to a company to cover appliances and systems such and washers, driers, refrigerators, heating and a/c, plumbing, etc.

One day the tenant takes a tumble that they believe is my fault - the tenant could sue me with some lawyer who thinks he/she can pierce the LLC's veil to show that I am mixing personal finances with the LLC's and it's not really a separate entity, and as a result my personal assets are also at risk as part of the suit.  

Compared to many states, Arizona is reasonably well prepared for a hotter, drier future, so I don't think this a valid reason to invest elsewhere.Happy to discuss further if anyone is interested!

Put scented drier sheets in all compartments and rooms.
