I manage 5 vacation rentals remotely using my cell phone and it takes about 5 minutes per day.

It's an alarm that has a siren for 5 minutes, and notifies the sheriff office, and my cell phone. 

Also when you post the notice, make sure you take a picture with your cell phone.

For owner-occupied, it can finance up to a four-plex.With this type of loan, renovations cannot exceed 75% of sales price + renovation, or the appraised value, whichever is lower.

Each has my cell phone and knows to call or text me if there is an issue.

The police came after they were there with me for over 5 months and broke down my door ( since I lived 30 minutes away and they just couldn't wait, although the tenants were not home) they stopped paying rent after 3 months, and changed cell phones regularly.  

FHA has a limit up to 6% of seller concessions based on the sales price or the appraisal price, whichever is lower.Seller concessions have to be approved by the owner because the property has to appraise at the higher value.An example: $100,000 with 1% seller concessions.

If you want to be safe, spell it out in your lease where is says appliances included, "None", or whichever ones you want to include.

I value my housing situation, car and cell phone bill much more than beer and partying.

Real Estate and Notes are a lot of work whichever way you go....I do both and know first hand:)Thanks so much for your thoughts!
