I know it would have helped me.Now that I am out from under these two properties I am waiting on a HELOC on my primary to get approved I will be getting right back on the horse but with much smaller rehabs.Below is the house that sold today.

On the other hand, tenants tend to cause damages when moving these appliances in/out, so having them in place may be safer.I recommend you look at what others are doing in your community and price point.

I am on Zillow looking at properties almost every day. 

Does it look like a modern-ish apartment with breezeways and internal stairs, or is it built like a roadside motel with long walk ways along the front.  

Depends on the city & airport. 

Depending on your current rate or if the current loan is short term or long term.

Look for distressed properties through online platforms or local agents.

Most, if not all are in older neighborhoods without a HOA and on the bus line. 

It really all depends on the lender! 

Everyone loves a bit of luxury on vacation.
