Will you "freak out" when you have to write a check for maintenance or eviction?

When you own a couple of units, the odds of there being unexpected vacancies that overlap each other are usually low, but when you acquire more and more real estate, the odds of tenants moving out around similar times increases. 

This will be negative cash flow if using sustained maintenance /cap ex.

Make sure you buy it low enough to make it worth the trouble.

It was high rent, low entry point area but within 6 months I dealt with an eviction and electrical issues.

@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.

Because for a certain type renter it’s just SO easy to continue renting fully furnished rather than having to spend $20-40k on furniture; come up with a down payment on a house purchase; and or worry about repairs and maintenance.  

Condo: Condos may offer maintenance benefits, while homes provide more control.Size and Layout: Ensure the property accommodates your child’s needs and potential roommates.HOA Fees and Rules: If considering a condo, check for restrictions that may impact student living.4.

Because real estate always goes up and the maintenance fairy takes care of all repairs free of charge.Seems like a recipe for disaster. 

Employees won’t think exactly like owners, but tying bonuses to behaviors and KPIs they can influence is key.Focus on metrics like tenant retention, minimizing vacancy days, and timely maintenance resolution.
