@John BerjIf cash flow is a top priority, factor in HOA fees (common with new builds) and confirm rent comps to ensure the numbers work.

They tell you you’re asking too much rent (you lower rent, avoid vacancy and make more money) ,your marketing is bad (they take new pictures, advertise in different places, change wording, whatever, and get a tenant saving vacancy.)  

Scenario 1 they don’t or refuse to move- eviction costs and/or lost rent Scenario 2 they move out and Cap ex and turnover costs, lost rent, advertising for new tenants in a somewhat of a qualified tenant shortage, headaches can be avoided by simply having a conversation with the tenant to see where their head is at, and that they understand what your expectations are.

In fact, I don't think you should charge ANYONE because it was YOU who accepted that the switch is located in a common area. 

They are far more common now and harder to find models without but:1) these add cost to the purchase price2) they don't bring a lot of value3) they can leak or detach and damage the propertyI own around 50 doors and I cap off the line at the wall or in the basement with a valve and a cap so the potential for leaks is 0.00001% :-) 

many houses in the midwest, for example, are very old and need major rehabs.i personally think out of state investing is more difficult than advertised, and much more difficult in the current investing environment, with: prices high; interest rates high; tremendous demand for inventory, by both investors and retail buyers; and good PMs, contractors, etc. booked up.here's a really thoughtful thread with the experience of another CA investor and lots of different responses:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1215726-break...and here are some threads about how it can very easily go wrong:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...finally, you also said you "don't have a lot of money to start with." 

If you have hired a specialist to perform a cost segregation study of your real estate property, they will likely use one of the six most common methodologies recognized by the IRS.

Yep I advertise on Gosection8 and CL, too.  

I've been reading up on the process to go from advertisement to signed lease.

Lack of provisions for dispute resolution is a common oversight.
