Quote from @Chase Hoover: Literally a post on this same topic every dayHi Chase, I know you are a successful investor and a realtor, what’s your investing strategy now?

There is good money to be made with short term rentals but a lot of people get burned chasing the shiny object.

Sure, it goes right back into my pocket, but I intend to continue using a PM because I understand the value they bring to the table and I want to enjoy my life and my money, not spend my days fixing leaking toilets or chasing rent checks just to squeeze another % out of my investment.

Thank you @Alex Olson the important thing for me was to get out of the smaller town markets that I had originally purchased because they were "Cheap" ($35,000) and just chasing Cash on Cash Return (bad advice from Biggerpockets), and get that money into a more stable higher appreciating market like Charleston.  

@Chase Bell it sounds like you don't like your neighborhood, have lots of equity, wouldn't make money as a rental and won't pay taxes if you sell now. 

I know US Bank and Chase both offer locks.

I don't have chase tenants for water specifically.

I feel like If I try to chase what is considered reasonable RV ratios then I'll never buy anything...

He chased after us for a 2-year lease. 

Use a fan or a portable AC unit if the reason for the open windows is that it is too hot.Trying to chase all cracks and sealing off your unit in a 1980s building will be mission impossible.
