I saw this video saying it is a great idea! 

@Derek Janssen are you thinking about a group video chat? 

Since we already own a lot of properties, we work to partner with cheap and skilled tradespeople saving maintenance costs.We are proactive in our maintenance so our tenants are happier and they stay on average longer than most tenant occupancy periods (which saves the owner on future leasing).We set up leases to end during summer months where we have the most tenants looking for new houses to rent so we can maximize rental rates.Even though we rent fast, we prioritize make ready repairs so that we can continually keep the property up to maximize rental potential and identify and get great tenants.We are proactive in our collection of rent so we evict faster than self managing investors.We perform inspections to identify how tenants are keeping the property to not renew leases to hoarders and people who break lease terms.We perform move in and move out inspections by video to document condition to charge back tenants on security deposits.For some investors, they are not as on top of all aspects of property management and they should get help (to improve ROI). 

Those who find they can tele/video commute just fine may end up moving where they want to be instead of where they had to be. 

Here is a great video on luxury viny plank flooring directly over ceramic tile.

I would remove the random pieces on carpet.

watch this video to get you thinking about what your needs are.

If you need any monitoring then we have video monitoring, camera monitoring.

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

If you buy a random property in an unfamiliar neighborhood you will get crushed by deferred maintenance, or your tenants, or both.like this guy.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...or, for a super thoughtful thread on someone investing in the midwest from California with lots of good responses:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...Higher interest rates have really hurt cash flow, and it's not worth it to buy something just to buy.
