But in the end I had a freshly rehabbed duplex for 65k that rented for $1600/mo.

Other tenants will get first dibs on the fresh unit.

Megabus "rents" space at 24-hour convenience stores and such, to use the parking lot as a place to idle the engine for 30 minutes while passenger load and unload. 

The only good part was the fresh coat of white paint to make the 4"x4" windows make the room seem brighter.  

A lot of times they're the same installers who work for the local carpet companies and/or big box stores, just moonlighting on the side.

The total current rental income from the long term renters under fresh 1 year leases is greater than even the worst case scenario mortgage payment.

That was a gem that I quickly stored in my memory.  

The most you might ever want to do is remove the items and store them somewhere for a while in case the tenant returns for them.
