For example one of my properties had a primary (3-floor) staircase, and I cordoned off the entire second floor to give the traveling RN their personal studio...with 'wet bar' min fridge, microwave, hot plate, etc.

That said, it is generating positive monthly cashflow and has "forced" me to get my feet wet / served as a personal proof of concept for out of state investment.I'm currently renting in a high-cost area of Sarasota, FL but am using my lease term as an opportunity to learn as much as I can about real estate investing to make as informed of a decision as possible about my next purchase.

It's worth it when your broker is giving you leads in conjunction with a hands-on education allowing you to get your feet wet.

That might be a good way to get your feet wet and see if you actually like it. 

That was appealing because the return is projected to be pretty phenomenal and would be a fun way to get my toes wet. 

I’m still grinding it out to get my feet wet in my first deal here in the Bay.

For example, often fire damage is water damage--they put the red stuff out with wet stuff.

My criteria:- Max Purchase Price: $120k- Interested in buy-and-hold investing and getting tenants for renting the rooms- Since it's my first out-of-state deal, I'd be interested in more A-B-C grade properties in decent areas to get my feet wet- Less than $10k in rehab, so relatively good condition (unless there is strong potential for a BRRRR)- Would be open to suburbs surrounding Philly tooLooking forward to connecting!

I add a new one and new bath mats after long turnovers,too, as I find the water is not so much from the shower but the tenant standing there wet....I like to buy them all on sale : curtains, rings, mats and be ready for the next turn around (good bang for the buck, making the bath show better and protecting from water ).

I was actually thinking NJ would be a better fit to wet my feet.
