@Benny Morfas I solely invest in Class D areas, but would never buy something that’s doing $475 a month in rent.

They are okay in new build subdivisions that are isolated, but not always even then!

I feel a little bit isolated, but hopefully this weekend's meet up in Deep East Texas will help!

That is definitely my eventual goal once I have more capital.you seem to be under the illusion that the PM controls the deal.. when in fact the PM is not there hand holding the tenant they make the best decisions based on experience to put a tenant in your unit.. but they are not babysitters.Sorry, let me clarify my position on PM's....I don't think the PM controls the deal, I was just trying to figure out how to optimize my strategy by isolating the PM factor. 

Perhaps install some cut off valves in the water system at various places until you isolate the area of the leak.

I don't see us ever going Mad Max with small sparse isolated groups of people huddled together in tents, and tumble weed blowing across the empty parking lots of large unoccupied apartment complexes. 

You will have a better idea of whether a repair is needed or what it might cost once you isolate the problem. 

Having a bunch of paid off properties is very enticing for lawsuits, so you probably want to isolate each property from the others

These are the best systems in the world for cold climates because you can use isolation valves and heat only the rooms you want to heat.

Also not an isolated incident, he was telling me that he went through 7 different companies before deciding to just manage it himself from a distance and just visiting Florida(from New York) here and there to check in.
