But occasionally I have a suggestion for an enhancement that I think would make it even better.

Or you buy a place with an in-law apartment you can rent to tourists while you live there (in Tahoe this might work great and there are occasionally places like that).One other place to consider might the Nevada side of Tahoe in Incline Village which is awesome and then you get the benefit of no state incomes taxes!

Plus, occasionally you find out you weren’t really over market even at that higher rent. 

The two most common sources of moisture are from showering, bathing, cooking, washing the laundry and cleaning the dishes.

I currently have a few rental properties and I do the occasional flip (but it can't hurt to add more cash flow with wholesaling).

No way the Dish company should have put that up without permission. 

I can supervise any work and do occasional drive-by's, etc.

This tenant has a dog that goes in and out on rainy/snowy days. ...and this dog also slops water out it's dish. ...and they apparently aren't very careful washing dishes near the sink either.

Of course, we also spent about $200 loading it with cheap plastic dishes, silverware, utensils, a few pots and pans, and a cheap baking pan set.

In that LOP you specify exactly where dishes can and cant be installed, wiring etc.
