I tape every seam on my electric units, helps slightly with efficiency, thus reducing bills for my tenants and improving the longevity of the units.

@Paul B.The self-employment activity or business that is required to establish a Solo 401k plan has to be legitimate and when I speak with people occasionally who want to setup some self-employment activity just to qualify for a Solo 401k what they are proposing in most cases is not a legitimate self-employment activity or it does not have the longevity that is needed to maintain the plan. 

Gutters make a huge difference in water and foundation issues.I prefer to hold them responsible for issues that they clearly cause, not normal items that are important in the longevity of the property.

I would not bet against their ability to block the longevity of STRs.

Nice growthhack tactic but I surmise it won't have longevity as a tactic

I think tile makes the most sense for longevity, but I don't know if it will be a turn off for potential tenants to have a cold tile floor.decisions decisions....

Fred but what you might not be considering is you have a great OPPORTUNITY NOW in this buying cycle to acquire many undervalued properties.Your income is awesome for your age.Remember to live way below your means and invest the rest.That job you plan on having can change in a heartbeat and the next job you find might not pay close to that.I have seen great companies pay out a bunch where they do not have longevity and the person with the job has to hop from company to company to make close to the same money.If you have properties paid off you have TRAPPED EQUITY that is doing nothing for you.Especially with today's interest rates.With the kind of money you have I would go with multifamily.Leverage yourself up into larger deals instead of having little properties all over creation.What are the rents for your current property you own??

"It's just the longevity of this deal and the fact that out of that $72,000 down payment after taxes, commission, loan pay off, closing fees, etc he's walking away with less than $10k.
