The fact that you live a stones throw away simply means you can cater to their needs efficiently and have the ability to keep an eye on your investment at all times.  

Became unable, because of a change in employment status, to pay basic living expenses for the household (including expenses for food, clothing, housing, medication, transportation, taxes, court-ordered payments, and expenses reasonably necessary for making an income).

Have it fully catered complete with balloons door prizes and open bar.nah just kidding, the thought crossed my mind and struck me as funny.

The fridge is still under warranty, and was told the repair will be completed in a week due to a part that needed to be ordered.My tenant asked if she could be reimbursed for food lost the 3-4 days the fridge was not working well.  

I think fast food or some other restaurant would do well, lots of options.

Rotting food.

Is that the class of renter you have the abilities and skill set to cater to?

Food for thought, the cash buyer might want to do an inspection.

That means that twice a year I have to buy a plane ticket, pay for a hotel, food, etc.  

If your units turnover one every 10 years it's a non-issue, but if it's once a year it can chew away at that cash-flow pretty heavily.Anyway, just some random food for thought.
