It's understandable that unexpected things arise sometimes, especially when you're opening up walls or dealing with older electric or plumbing.

I've also heard it can be a good thing to have some debt against a property because if any issues arise legally, the bank will be the first line of defense. 

I'm being charged half of that annual amount for what appear to be common turnover repairs such as filling nail holes and tightening door knobs.

I will plan to improve the common areas, property fencing and siding. 3 of the 4 units have been turned in the past few years so there is not too much to do inside.

It's actually so common that there is entire Real Estate Investment strategies built around it.

Both common issues for hosts!

They are far more common now and harder to find models without but:1) these add cost to the purchase price2) they don't bring a lot of value3) they can leak or detach and damage the propertyI own around 50 doors and I cap off the line at the wall or in the basement with a valve and a cap so the potential for leaks is 0.00001% :-) 

Some places do this annually, some places do a portion of the town every year giving them a total cycle of about every 4 years, and in my area it’s common to do a whole town reevaluation every 4-5 years.
