This can be an issue for homes in our market with the heat and humidity we have if they sit empty for long with no air conditioning as significant damage can occur to wood floors and other wood structures due to the humidity.4.

I am currently living in Colorado Springs but the Air Force will be sending me to Wichita Falls, TX for pilot training at the end of June.

Tenants pay all utilities except water.The eventual possible upgrades that I thought of to increase property value are: addition of garage, driveway, fence, and central air.

Here are some of the common things you'll run into that you need to take into account:Does the house have central air?

Hey @Stuart GrazierI am in the Air Force and stationed down in Colorado Springs at Schriever afb.

 - some thoughts:  A) Have processes: This is how we handle filling vacancies  B) This is how we handle deposits  C) We do periodic "inspections" - we check the smoke alarm or air filter every three months to see inside.

You might have to get creative: owner financing, air bnb, new build and rent, but the deals are still there.

You could possibly put tiny home or rv in your backyard and get away with it as an air bnb/vrbo.

That puts significant pressure on you to maintain an adequate deal-flow.A second option is to become a broker and pair borrowers with investors.

I promise to post more deets on the deal when I come up for air.
