That 1-3 years that you are planning to spend in a 2 BR apartment could be spent in half of a Duplex that you own with 95% FHA financing, with the other tenant paying most of the note payment.That three years of equity, reinvested using Section 1031 for the next 30 years, could easily turn into half a million dollars.And your monthly expenses would be even lower.You would also be building a solid credit history.Just a thought.Good Luck on your real estate investing.

One thing you can do is set things up quarterly by the season.. makes perfect sense.Look water heaters, cooling systems, boiler systems,schedule filters on those systems to be changed or inspected.exterior roofs, siding, windows a good general inspection spring and falllandscape grounds, parking area's including trash areas at least 2 times a year for needed replacements or lot line painting, or pot hole fixing..You should get into the units for a quick look see at least 2 times a year.. if not, be sure and schedule one before you renew a lease to make sure the upkeep is to your satisfaction.Just don't replace all the stoves at the same time or fridges,, then you'll have them all die again at the same time.. do appliances as needed.. and save some $$ so you've got that covered.

The point here is not to filter out legitimate requests, but to block scammers who are trying to use a loophole to sneak their dog in.So, although I like your questions, I think that HUD is pretty specific that only two questions should be asked of the medical professional.
