You've only owned it six months, so you probably haven't dealt with vacancies, maintenance, or capex, but you should be setting money aside for those things.Your partnership agreement (if you have one) should address exit options.

Thank you for your input.Keep a cheat sheet for your property(ies) with color brand/codes for each room and common info needed such as appliance info, fridge opening HxW, etc...Paint should be standard sets of colors for all the properties you have.Flat means hard to clean, repaint it all.
