The basketball court looks poor where the Crisp refreshing pool would enhance the appeal.  

These properties are investments and you want the peace of mind that your investments are protected.

Touching up paint around the windows, making sure gutters are not clogged and securely fastened, and other little things that can enhance the appearance.

(hint hint); in the worst case you have the peace of mind of buying new and deffered full payment for 12-24 months

I see the arena and the complex as self-sufficient and a professional team (whether NHL or NBA) would just enhance that area.

As Roy said above, low flow fixtures are good and also having the peace of mind knowing the plumbing fixtures aren't old and about to break (which can cause massive damage).3.

build an emergency fund to smooth this whole thing over. because lets say you finance the car at 15k and use the 15k to purchase a property. then you have car trouble (or other bills for that matter) and not only do you have payments, but now you have other bills without options. gotta pay that payment. for me, i like to have options and a peace of mind.

Meanwhile, it would probably be best to just get the negligent tenant out peacefully, and get it re-rented ASAP.
