I think countertops and floors are pretty obvious unless the person is just a pure slob.

My lease agreement makes the tenant responsible for all consumables, including light bulbs, smoke detector batteries, air and water filters, etc.if your lease does not specifically make the tenant responsible, then it is a landlord responsibility.

A lot of those who started out in wholesaling just have more capital to leverage in other investment tactics, where they may not have had in the beginning- so when they find a deal that may be more profitable to fix & flip, or rent out, they're more capable of taking this on, themselves, rather than outsourcing an end buyer.I also feel like Creative Finance is gaining more traction, so more wholesalers are able to use this leverage to get more deals, rather than letting leads die, because they're not able to meet a seller's price.If wholesaling WERE to die out to landlord & flipping, I'd say it's purely due to outreach.

Some solutions , a back up generator will keep the pump running , a battery back up system will help if the pump fails , but they are only good to run so long .

Well, for a pure flip (short term) if we only paid 25% tax (without the self employment tax) that would be a bargain!  

I would like to work out once or twice a week and I’d like to have the body of a cross fit trainer, however, if I don’t put in the work I won’t likely get the same results.Now there are hybrid ways of investing that give you much better returns than purely passive.

I wonder if a potential tenant would prefer the central A/C purely for cosmetic reasons? 

But look at this purely as a financial action -- would you spend more money to gain no return?

My lease makes tenant responsible for all consumables such as light bulbs, batteries, or filters. 

I also like Blink cameras for their battery-powered, use anywhere capabilities, however the recent Amazon buyout has led to Amazon killing off a lot of the third party integrations that made the product so useful in an overall camera config.
