I suggest a grass variety that needs minimal watering and mowing, since this would appeal to tenants with pets as well. 

The management hours are minimal, about 1.5 hours per month per property for the bookkeeping, scheduling repairs, etc. 

People want to get away to a coast, lake, or mountain area, escape from their homes they are locked up in for months, but do it with minimal risk of COVID. 

How do people minimize risk here?

Tenants were in the units and were not notified, therefore we did not have the authorization to interrupt their day to do full inspections.Then it hit us - "GET THE F*** OFF MY GD PROPERTY!"

Plus your brokerage "desk fees" or however the brokerage determines agents costs, I know some are very minimal and some seem very high.

You are right - that would be a great way to minimize that risk.

Is there any minimal amount?

I personally don't hit the 70% rule every time, usually because they are larger deals (600k ARV) where there is still a very healthy profit, and we've come to know our process, the area, and what sells which minimizes our risk.  

I have excellent credit (over 800) so I am trying to find the lowest rate with minimal fees.
