Jay Hinrichs I always enjoy reading and respect your opinions, could you offer any insight here?

Really enjoy it and the returns have been pretty good.

Relax and enjoy the ride! 

That will be a great place to network and enjoy HI.  

There are certain appliances that you should probably prefer not to include in a lease, unless you address repairs or state that what is there is for their enjoyment but if/when it dies you will not replace - washer, dryer, and microwave would be three right off the bat.

We hope you enjoy it!

Rick you response is the most enlightening yet and the most enjoyable.

If the goal is to eventually kick back and have a huge monthly income, get some of those houses paid off, raise rents, have a good manager, and enjoy life. 

If you say that your property won’t pass an inspection, a “professional tenant” might file a complaint against you saying that you are not even giving them a chance, hence discrimination, hence you are paying for your ESQ, while they enjoy the free legal service on your tax dollar.

I am new to posting but have enjoyed the community for some time.I am considering purchasing an investment property (US land) where I will eventually build a vacation home that also generates rental income when I am not there.
