It would blow your mind what I make off my LTR'S. 

I like investing in cities that are blowing up in terms of population, job growth, and companies moving and developing there.

Typically someone who was communicative turns distant, unresponsive, blows you off when you're trying to talk to them in person, and the tall tale sign of boxes in the hallway.

It literally takes 10+ hours for the washer seal to dry.

But now the area is blowing up and over priced in my opinion.

Anything you buy in the Columbus Ohio market is currently blow up in terms of appreciation growth so it's one of those markets you want to hold the real estate for the rest of your life.

I let it dry, then lay down copious amounts of diatomaceous earth into the gaps to discourage bugs.* Day 4: Maintenance responds to my pest control request by spraying a $30 bottle of Walmart roach spray around the house like I couldn't and didn't do that already. * Day 5: I find a live roach on my windowsill the next morning.Currently: One bathroom is taped shut and not working.

Their a/c starting leaking and has missing ductwork, and is blowing air in random places.

But not exactly cut and dry.

First is the macroeconomics here are absolutely blowing up here - population growth, job growth, and SO MANY companies moving/developing here.
