I call it living a blessed lifeto me real estate is a lifestyle.. however there is no doubt that in the rental world the quality of the asset will dictate the time spent and risk's involved. 

My goal is to make the property as attractive as possible for high-quality tenants (as we're doing a full redesign to all the units over the next few months) to stay with as little turn over as possible taking away the majority of their reasons for moving (or as much as we can with a return) Any help would be awesome!

Is it not as durable or high-quality?

With a quality provider, such plans also come bundled with meaningful consulting guidance to help you get the most out of the program while staying inside the IRS guidelines.A similar checkbook program is a Solo 401(k).

Different quality of schools, taxes, crime, etc.Good Luck.

Make the tenant responsible for those things mentioned and use good quality material to minimize those type of problems along with an experienced labor on the installation.You could please them by limiting their maintenance cost to not exceed $500. 

Each have a view of the ocean, just a different quality view

We will continue to see rental rate to climb over the next few years as the population continues to grow and the inventory for quality rentals get smaller and smaller.

If the ex wife is not paying the taxes, what else is she not paying... meaning a good title search for outstanding liens should be done first before proceeding.

I’d suggest finding and vetting a quality private mortgage broker and investing through him, at least at first.
