If you went from being a 9 to 5 engineer making a couple hundred thousand a year (probably living in a modest home in Silicone Valley area because of the high RE prices) and just became a multi-millionaire pretty much over night (at the IPO) would you not move up into something bigger and nicer? 

With the upgrades the rents would go up a couple hundred dollars collectively probably not enough to make it feasible to invest a larger amount in rehab.

As an owner I would not even worry about the interest. 1/4% on a Few hundred or even few thousand is not worth the effort

It may cost a few hundred to connect to water and have a meter set and then a plumber type water contractor charges to run a water line to the house. 

I'd rather take half the capital gain in exchange for no headaches and hundreds of hours freed up over the course of the investment.

I’m sure you can find a RE agent on BP somewhere.A couple hundred$ is worth it’s weight in gold for a piece of mind.Good luck!

All the apartments going up are luxury apartments asking several hundred dollars more a month than I ask so I’m not directly competing with them as they are drawing a different kind of clientele than I do.

But a country with hundreds of Trillions in liabilities fiddles while Rome burns.At least one doesn’t have to be wealthy or high income or accredited to buy silver.Although TX has a sales tax for purchases on under $1k that is very regressive & discriminatory!

It seems one may lose out on a great deal if they have to travel hundreds of miles to see the house before offering.
