Once the dust settles, you'll be given the best loan package possible.   

My insights are as follows: set expectations in your listing clearly, its the mountains, there will be leaves and dust.

I don't think there is anything wrong with acquiring doors that pay a few hundred a month, but you don't want to get left in the dust.

Seriously, grime and dust and dirt can make a place feel pretty undesirable - you don't even always notice it when it's there, but you will notice it when it's gone because the place will just look, feel, and smell nicer.- On that same note, one of the other most important things is also to make the place feel light and bright.

Would you look into purchasing a property today or wait a few months until the dust settles?

I pet proofed the house (i.e taking off the blinds and keeping the windows bare, tile or water resistant floors) since it's multi- ... fees or fines for unleashed dogs and poop found, pet insurance requirements for any fights or problems from pets, poop bag and trash station, signs of leasing and picking up after your pet posted.If you have garden, pregnant tenants, or walking/crawling kids, you might want to consider no cats because even just the fumes from their urine is more toxic and harmful.

Thinking of income for 30+ years, I enjoy a mixed bag of both.

This even extends to situations where you send a contractor to do one job, and the site mgr has them do additional work that doesn't show up on the invoice.Hire a small vendor to perform regular cleaning, and make sure your House Rules have something about how tenants are to handle their regular trash daily (bagged and tied, nothing left outside of the receptacle) as well as in common areas (clean up spills, use proper receptacle) ....and an appropriate fine system to change behavior.A camera system with remote access and at least two weeks of continuously saved recordings is by far the best, and only way, to keep MULTIPLE eyes on your property and see what really is taking place, and who is responsible, even after the fact.

Shake the dust off your shoes and move on.

@David Tardy So far you have received a mixed bag of advice.
