The biggest regret is selling too many of the properties. 

This was one of my biggest returns on energy.

Is the biggest challenge with the vacation ones the work to get the systems in place?

My biggest fear is looking back in five years saying I made the wrong decision. 

I guess you should at least have a general maintenance guy, a plumber, and an electrician you can call when you need to do repairs, but you just find them on Craigslist or on the internet. 

Your biggest step is going to be spending the money to get an attorney in on this deal.

Through the internet reviews including yelp I now have a handyman, HVAC and electrical company I use.

The rents are way under market by $200/mo to as much as $400/mo per unit (rents are way under $1.10/unit which is like the minimum we're getting for Cincinnati apartments).It's a SLUM DUNK.We made them an offer they cannot refuse.In fact, the deal is so good we decided to keep the ones that take the least amount of work with the biggest upside and sold the rest (173 units).

What were some of your biggest challenges?

My biggest frustration is if they had just rerun our credit back in December my girlfriend would have been above the 680.
