The key to electrical maintenance is to keep the equipment dry, tight(terminations), and clean.

As the purse strings draw tight...the snowbirding stops.Millennials are also nagged by crushing school loans.

But I don't really have any good alternatives right now, so just going to have to sit on these for cash flow for a while, and hopefully get out before the huge repairs start rolling in...I've had a few tenants bail but no evictions, my property manager does a good job on screening, and runs a tight ship, so no issues there really.  

Since money will be tight would i be able to rent the house in its current condition and just tell the tenant when i plan to fix everything.

good luck, looks a little on the tight side when it comes to profit but I hope you get a great price and it sells fast.

But if property appreciates at 7% per year (Denver metro annual avg. appreciation rate about 11.5% in the last two years) with tax benefit from depreciation, it may beat having the money sitting tight in a CD account.

Inventory has been tight locally.  

We also plan to mitigate risk with a thorough tight lease and active property management (regular maintenance, close oversight, immediate fixes, etc.). 

I've been in Nashville 11 years and travel all over town for my day job, so I have some insight into most areas of town.Nashville's a pretty tight market, but still some deals to be found, so be prepared to look hard!  

It would have been tough for me to qualify for conventional because banks requied 20% down on 2-4 family props and cash was tight at the time.
