Also you may want to remove the toilet before they broke it.

Just curious as I have no experience with them at all and it hasn't scared me away yet from a 3 unit property that I just put an offer on.My main takeaways:Need strict rules in lease about what can be used for toilet paper, laundry frequency, waste/chemicals going into the sink.300-800 maintenance every couple years for pumping/inspectionExpect five-figure costs if you have major repairs or replacement.Anything else I should be looking out for?

These pumps usually incorporate a "grinder", and you do need to educate Tenants to not flush ANYTHING other than toilet tissue.

Well, my guess would be that either a) a lot of the agents know squat about investments so don't have a lot to offer, but more so my bigger guess is b) they may not think someone calling from out-of-state is really a viable sale, at least viable enough to make their efforts worth it.

If a ceiling fan, toilet, window, etc breaks, you don’t have to fix it like any other long term rental property does, it’s MY responsibility to get that fixed before the next guest arrives.  

Will you have to replace toilets, showers, cabinets, vanities, or anything on the inside?

Here is a break down of what I paid for:4K - HVAC3K - Painting2.4K - Hardwood Flooring1.5K - Electrical updates1.5K - Plumbing1K - Granite Countertops3.5K - Tile2.5K - Materials such as new toilets, ceiling fans, etc.1.7K - Concrete replacement2.5K - Management/Permits1K - AppliancesI wasn't happy with some of the prices to get work done but I made sure not to fall into the trap of "oh, I can do that myself".

Currently we have ample storage space, a double vanity, a toilet (crammed into a small area) and a very small shower in the master bath, to expand the bathroom and upgrade the shower ( knowing it's quite a bit of construction) we are looking at a ball park of ~$40k is there a way to know that this investment will hold when it comes time to sell the property?

I didn't attempt to raise her rent until she failed to tell me her toilet was running which ended up costing over $400 in water and sewer above and beyond what it should have been.When it came time to ask for more money I sent a letter to Section 8 and they rejected it, telling me $450 is the most they pay in my neighborhood for a one bedroom. 

His quote is much higher and you reject it after only looking at the bottom line number... and go with contractor "A"-----------Materials: You can try and pick things like faucets, lights, tubs, toilets.
