Rentals are one area where the little guy can still compete with the mega corps and large apt complexes, often winning over some choice tenants with personal service, flexible terms, and small touches...Just a few ways, off the top of my head, that I think we can gain a competitive advantage over more rigidly run large complexes (though all markets vary, so these are based on my experiences)....) flexible terms (I offer a six month or one year lease; of course, most six month folks renew, but some like the flexibility; some large complexes are "one year or nothing" in my market..)) new mats (inside and out of the doors; bath, even runners or area rugs in high traffic area for vinyl plank flooring)...while they add some "wow factor" and look like gifts, there is self interest at work here, however, as the matting greatly reduces wear and tear on my flooring.) pets on approval ( I have some of the best behaved canine tenants imaginable, and their high quality tenant owners stay long term, are respectful, and pay well,yet are often shunned by many "no pets" larger places)) small (tax deductible) $20 gift card at holidays ..

Your question is more of a lifestyle choice.

Success is a process, failure is a choice

Good choice...

Our indoor system choice as also influenced by having to jackhammer up a large concrete patio in the back yard too.  

A small regional one may be a good choice.  

Real estate is fast becoming the most preferred choice for the people who want to invest for the profitable future.

Most of these properties profit about 5500 a year I just don't want to make the wrong choice on my first deal.  

So, plan ahead and go see your area of choice before you decide to make your decision.
