Sometimes it's nice to get a new lease so that you can increase the rent right off the bat, but having tenants with a solid payment history is worth so much more to me.

Things are going well so far - I am using Grant Shipman's model (LivingSmith) instead of padsplit, which works great for me.How nice are the neighborhoods you invest in? 

I guess Air BnB is the newest hot topic.. nice southern gentlemen.. can't comment on his class or anything like that since I have not sat through it..

The interest rate is nice, if there was a way to increase the cash flow to ~15% or greater COC you could pull a HELOC on the property for 9% and collect the delta.again though, i would suggest selling it and trying to lock up a property or two with the proceeds that required some sweat equity, force appreciation through a reno, rent it out, refinance and repeat (BRRRR)

Provide the scope of work done to the appraiser.All you can do is your best, so make it nice and pretty for that appraiser.Especially if you are looking to cash out refinance shortly here.

Not the nicest areas, but nice enough.. and I would be looking for minimal cashflow, banking on appreciation. 

Much cheaper to keep it nice and cool.

That's nice, but magical thinking.
