there is nothing wrong with it, most microwaves have that option and do not have to be vented out, even though as a contractor i prefer them to vent out. if the existing pipe already vents out, which it probably does if there is a pipe in the cabinet already. what you would have to do is unscrew the 2 or 3 screws in the top cabinet that screw down into the microwave ( if not there then there may be 2 bolts in the front of the unit behind the cover that have to be loosened) that will loosen the microwave, then its a matter of taking the screws out that hold the fan at the top back, pull the blower fan out and change the direction so that it faces up, screw the fan back to the unit and put the microwave back up and bolting it. check to make sure the fan connects to the duct work, if not, add a piece of sheet metal to connect and seal that joint. btw you may want to unplug the microwave before doing so, just for safety reasons.

Some good advice if I may is to have a really good insurance policy that covers rental loss, and 3-6 months of full expenses in each of your rentals bank account.

Property taxes $3,611...run through the numbers and you will see it's all an appreciation play...since you will only cover monthly expenses with a lot down...With respect to appreciation...at these numbers I am thinking more about selling then buying...other house we bought for office/rental up 15% per year in two years since we bought it...feels great, but makes me nervous...If you are interested in short term rentals be sure to check with the City, as they are only allowed if more than 250 feet from another short term rental, so westside, near the river are locked out...That said, if you do decide to invest here pick areas carefully.

The top unit alone will bring in income that will cover my operating expenses. 

I consider showing to be part of the screening process and, becuase I have high end rentals, I beleive the personal touch is why I have waiting lists and  tenants tend to stay. 

I had around $30K in cash to cover the down payment, closing costs, and any rehab necessary.

I may be going back into the tech sector soon and will need the day-to-day stuff covered. 

The sheet can't cover everything under the sun but it can serve as a good starting point to the new investor (such as myself).

We also have a SFH investment property in Charlotte, NC with about 11 years remaining on the mortgage (the rental income covers the monthly mortgage and the taxes.)We have some cash available and we are considering purchasing an investment property in Duck, NC (where we have been going for years on family vacations.) 

Covered porch with spacious prepared area is perfect for hosting those summer backyard parties.
