Since your number one criteria is no stress, I'd go find something else to put your money into frankly.Over the last 60 days with C-A properties, we average 28 repair tickets in 30 days, per 100 units.

If the government also returns to a policy of federal income tax breaks for the full ticket price for the solar panels, it could be a healthy fit to proactive tax planning as well.

This is where I really get things done and I dedicate a lot of this time to big ticket items and education (both W2 and investing).

Might be time to take a flight to Vegas to find that attorney, or loose some cashola gambling lol!

I meet a lot of people who think 2-3 rental properties are going to be their ticket to getting "rich" or "retiring early".

Well, I obviously didn't act fast enough because my property management company's broker received a ticket from the city along with a request to appear in court. 

Bigger Pockets is your golden ticket to great success.

The water bill and sewer bill is separate and often rediculous in cost... parking is terrible just like everywhere else on the Hudson.. commute to nyc is the golden ticket and rents have been rising especially in the past 5 years.  1 bedrooms going for 1200-1500 for average apartments. 2 bedrooms 1600-2200 So if you get the property cheap and can get decent cash flow with the high taxes then it’s a good deal for the future.  

You could then figure $6.5k divided by remaining lifespan in years divided by 12 and work that into your capex.It seems like people get rid of their rental properties before the big ticket items start crapping out; which is a pretty good strategy.

Because at that income level those people aren't necessarily racking up the frequent flyer miles and dropping money on plane tickets all the time.
