Just thought I would share that tip since yall have been so gracious in sharing yours :) 

One tip I would add is to only use a 6 month lease terms unless your market is stagnant or your property class is poor so a the turn over would be very expensive.In downtown Dallas I own a 4plex that the seller had just signed a 2 year lease on one of the units before I bought.

If that's the case many times a "short appraisal" (aka "drive by appraisal") can do the trick.

If you're in Mountain View or the general bay area and have tips or do this work yourself and need someone to dial for dollars. 

Any tips or pointers on that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for any tips!
