@Tom R.Part of the game 

I am writing this as a newbie to the VR game as well so please do not take this as an expert answer.

I’m really trying to get into the game but I was wondering if I have to pay mortgage, taxes & insurance each month isn’t that getting into my cash flow?

They are in the game to make $$, and in taking your $$, they may well be taking all your profits from your property.Second, I think your move out clause is a little unreasonable. 

It's been eons since I shopped for a dishwasher, and never for a rental yet, but given the unit which needs the machine isn't super high-end, I'm leaning towards the 400-500 price point (quality/value/reliability).

One shower, a washing machine, no dishwasher. 

I am now living in MA and looking to get back into the game.

I struggle with whether I should take some money off the table and sell off some properties, reinvest in other areas that cash flow with some more room to grow on the apprecIation side, or just play the long game and ride it out.

We are very low maintenance and have been in the game long enough to know that issues arise and there is no perfect investment.Any advice would be greatly welcomed.Thank you in advance for your time!
