Not an optimal solution but it appears this is what I have to do right now as my LLCs have no credit.

We may see fewer Listings and AO's then a normal year, but unless they diverge significantly from here then Price should remain stable.I'm cautiously optimistic about the Real Estate landscape, but April with go a long way to either bolstering or eroding that optimism. 

If you don't have a specific, long term investing plan with specific measurable goals, then odds are whatever you invest in will not be optimal.  ---- "If You don't know where you are going, any road will get you there " :) Lewis Carroll

Purchase price: $32,000 Cash invested: $34,000 Sale price: $85,000 First time flip; After additional rehab costs surfaced, decided to sell rather than hold as a rental to optimize profits; Reinvested those profits back into the business.

I have a maintenance guy on my apartment buildings change the filters once a month.You really do not need what I call a "retail checkup".These are big companies with big expenses and they need the retail jobs to tread water.I have found independant guys with their own companies can do repairs for 50% less and are just as good.You just have to really look around to find them and not call a company out of the phone book.I have seen some units last 30 years and keep going.I would be more worried about pre-mature failure from non-optimal installation of the product.I see that happen much more than a quality product installed properly failing on you.I can tell you owning apartment buildings that if you paid retail to get stuff done you would be crushed with expenses.If you are going to do HVAC care and things like that then run those numbers and account for them BEFORE you buy.Don't try to add it later as it will crush your returns.

I don't want anything I say in the post to communicate that leverage is necessary, optimal or even "better" than all cash.

A balance of both is what I would recommend but the optimal strategy could be one or the other depending on your situation, goals, needs.Food for thought.

There's not a whole lot of similar SFH rentals in the area so it's a little difficult to pinpoint what the optimal price should be (the only other listing right now on Craigslist for a similar type home in the vicinity is much higher, $1400/mo. -- they have about 80 sf more and an extra 1/2 bathroom, but the house/property is not nearly as nice as mine).
