You can also probably "harden" your units more by using different materials that are more tenant-proof, such a LVP flooring, use 1x4 wall cleats mounted on the studs for towel racks, door stoppers, only the necessary appliances for your market, semi-gloss paint and the same color throughout, simple or no landscaping, remove screen doors and replace with plexiglass, remove as many things that break as possible, remove any pull chords on fans and blinds that tenants always break, etc.

Not trying to dissuade you, just trying to keep it real and harden you for the journey.

It comes in 2 liquid parts - epoxy and hardener.

🏠👍Alot of people would disagree with you, but I am in the minority and personally follow this philosophy with my residential rentals because it hardens them against a severe recession and the risk of losing the property if and when rents fall too low to support a mortgage.And my father in law is essentially retired and did so after paying off all his rental mortgages to own them free and clear.

On the maintenance side: a great deal depends on how good you are at locking a property down, hardening a rental, to start with.

Break a small piece off, knead the epoxy base and hardener together, fill the hole this screw goes in with the putty mix.

Harden your property when the time is right.
