Hi Elizabeth - I know how tough it can be to manage laundry for a 6BR rental, especially with high-quality linens and tight turnarounds.

Perhaps try a better quality paint to start with and lessen this issue.

Pick a market that: (a) meets this above,    (b) is a place people want to live,     (c) you have the resources to do what you do there ie PM's and quality agents. 

It's pretty tough to find a quality carpenter as well.

.- Stick to B and C+ Areas: These neighborhoods balance affordability and tenant quality, minimizing risk.- Analyze Properties Remotely: Use tools like BiggerPockets calculators to evaluate deals.

When they eventually move out, I plan to do a full renovation to bring the unit up to high-quality standards and maximize its rental potential.I’m happy to connect if you ever want to chat.

We will quickly correct the excess spending, and fill the vacant units with quality residents.

@Augusta Owens here's some copy & paste info you won't find in a book:)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Time, Quality, or Price- you get two out of the three.

This property has some one-of-a-kind qualities namely a nice creek with inbound and outbound waterfalls at each end of the property (its on a hill w creek canyon).I've gotten the septic scoped and certified, well is good, power needs to be reinstalled as property was abandoned years ago.
