Talking to prior landlords helps, but I wouldn't rely heavily on it because if the tenant is a headache, wouldn't you want to make them look good to get out of your hair? 

They don't have a flapper or any type of rubber seal that will dry out and cause the toilet to run. 

One is a high school friend who now cuts my hair.

The problem isn't buying C-class - the problem is garbage property managers who look out for #1 and bleed owners dry. 

I would love to have a couple hundred acres but if there's say a $20,000 annual payment that never changes it seems like it would just suck my cash flow dry every year that isn't a harvest year.   

My GC rebuilt the entire first floor and properly supported that instead of jacking up the house.The problem is, he has had to make shims on most interior and exterior walls to get a square box for dry wall and siding.  

I know that I was excited that I could maybe add a basement bedroom for a rental I have in Indy - just so I could get a better appraisal- So I went ahead and spent the money to add flooring to the basement (which was still a good idea) but then when I tried to call it a basement it didn't pass and then to do an egress window wasn't almost worth the effort... 10K to start sounds about right but that just gets you the egress window in, you need a closet... for it to be dry all the time...

Maybe just splitting hairs here but wouldn't want you guys to be installing wall tile on the floor. ;)
