I'm looking for like minded people that are in this thing for the long haul.

well I think you answered your own questions. pretty muchplumber for plumbing issues.. you might want a electrician to do a quick walk through of your panel and check each receptacle make sure he did not switch wires..when they really want to be bad they will put concrete down your drain lines.. so if he did not do that .. then your good there.. but you may want to snake your lines anyway just so you know there in good condition.As for the haul off.. what I would personally do.. is go rent a small u haul go to the home depot parking lot or where ever your day laborers hang out grab two of them and have them haul the stuff to the u haul then go to the dump and have them empty the uhaul pay them and take them back to home depo parking lot.. also have plenty of water for them or Gatorade and maybe a sandwich.. that's how I would handle that.

That included cutting the concrete, installing window/outside frame/cover, and hauling away concrete.

And I have tools and some toys in the garage so I would need some extra garage space ... which an apartment may or may not offer.

I am into these properties for the long haul. 20-30 years from now.

That will enable you to attract top paying workers and keep your property relevant for the long haul. 

My strategy is to buy and hold, so if the market does decide to dip down I should be alright since Im in it for the long haul.  

I do plan to budget another $5000 per year for boat maintenance (haul outs etc.) so total yearly expenses would be roughly $9000 plus utilities.

Talk about owning something for the long haul.

You have ~60K extra that either becomes an emergency fund or toy fund :)With a HELOC, it is unlikely that you will get anywhere near that LTV.
