Getting a quote on hazard insurance is another great idea as well.This investment comes with more risk than I would like.

The idea is to sell and put the $200k in a high yield savings account and then when the rates go down a bit more buy two properties.

As far as the HOA board, I like the idea of community members being part of the board.

These groups may or may not list on Loopnet, but worth searching for the local office industrial investment sales teams, and reaching out.

One idea is to offer to pay 50% of the cost b/c it does affect the marketability of my property.

Great idea.

This is not my forever home.Do you have have renovation ideas/items I should I implement to save $ or headaches in the long run with tenants.For example- a recessed dryer vent so the dryer can flush to the wall,- drain pan- a hybrid heat pump water heater to save $ in the long run.- smurf tubing- sound proofing between the roomsWhat items do you wish you install that is causing headaches?

I think it's a great idea to have a property there. 

Is this a bad idea?
