Now, if I was looking for a pure investment to make cashola, I would have done something different.

We also buy pure rentals as we have increased our income over the years.

Somebody is putting that up hoping that the next microchip factory, i-phone, tesla battery, etc will come in and occupy it.  

Matt Bontrager talking about tax strategy was pure gold!

At pure retail, a bathtub remodel could cost you $18,000 (my in-laws just paid that much to rip out a tub, and put in a walk-in shower).  

A Lenders cannot lend you purely on rental income.. even if its a basement apartment it needs to be legal if you want to consider the income from it.. 

One of the first upgrades was battery backup sump pumps with audible alarms.  

You can just add this in the description on airbnb.My neighbor has the battery powered cameras and he has found the batteries need to be changed much more frequently than he imagined as there is always a lot of motion triggering the camera.I have a commercial system that powers the camera by the same ethernet cable they are plugged into.

I can remotely keep an eye on my house and get a discount on my insurance.I have the hardwired ones so I don't have to worry about replacing batteries.

Saying that, if you are looking at an area for the cash flow purely, I would recommend Cincinnati, let me know if you interested!
