@Albert Ng in that area it is not uncommon for some of your neighbors to have a small second story is it?

@Brian Liscio   B-I-N-G-O.

You will have to mange showings a little differently (an open house style will be better than individual showings, so you don't disturb the tenants much)  Your target market will be investors verse home buyers.And as a result you will lead your marketing efforts with Cap Rate and less of a focus on Delta between Purchase and ARV.We use a term "Turnkey Rental" when marketing something like this. 

Seems like all the little tasks would eat up a lot of timeCleaningInspecting the unit for damageCheck in check out, KeysIs anyone leveraging technology to mange their properties?

If you already have natural gas (NG) piped to the home then just replace the current system.

We had a dirty PITA wood burning fireplace with a gas starter nozzle so I converted it to a nice Napoleon NG insert & it has been great.

The current system will need repairs and was not sure if it just be better to convert to propane as NG does not seem to be an option anytime soon.

@Sam Ng I do believe that @Frank Wong makes some really great points here.

Your basic smoke/CO detectors will not detect a NG leak you will need the explosive gas detector units 'First Alert' has one.The one I useUEi Test Instruments CD100A Combustible Gas Leak Detector.

There's a NG line that runs by the house that we could tap into so we'd like to pick your brain about options that worked for you if you had to deal with this.
