The last few months I've been using an in-house guy that I hired to pull lists and skip trace for me and its been a gamechanger.

I have spent the last 25 years as a Mechanical Engineer and have recovered financially. 

People paid for large beachfront lots and all that they can do is build a villa.

I have maybe sent 6 email over last year. 

If you do plan to go for the bonus depreciation then make sure you’re committed to the property for at least 5 years.There are still lenders doing 10% down second home loans as well as 15% investment - I just talked with one last week that served most of the country. 

I did this last year!

@Chris SeveneyNot trying to be rude but in the last sentence of his opening paragraph he mentioned using his VA loan.

Last thing I want to do is bite more than my spouse was willing to chew as far as risk.

He's got a lease at below market rent.Better to charge full rent and pay for his services AND only do a MTM lease in case you need to part ways.One last thing, 10 doors is way too small of a property to have on-site management.

Last time i went to Philly was for the 2012 Flower festival, and I was surprised that amid a fairly important event, the area was empty, with the exception of the Amish Market.
