48 hours after this boyfriend and girlfriend move in I get a message from the guy that the girl punched him in his eye and he is scared to live there and wants off the lease.   

They can be an extra set of eyes if anything happens.2.

You mention that its a SMALL kitchen and a microwave hood saves on valuable countertop space plus its an eye catching sizzle feature that sets you apart from comparable rentals. 

I'm not seeing your post yet but will keep an eye out!

We also keep an eye on hourly wage growth, at the moment 5.1% in Wisconsin (yes, over inflation). 

I think it's healthy to keep our eyes open for products that suit us best, especially as our businesses grow and change over time, so should our systems.

Also, cleaners are the first eyes on the property after check-out and will let you know if things need to be fixed or replaced.

Additionally, national lenders like Chase and Wells Fargo have strong multi-family loan programs that cater to out-of-state investors.Scaling OwnershipGiven your available cash and equity, here are a few strategies to consider:Leverage Existing Equity: Utilize the equity in your current properties through a cash-out refinance or HELOC to increase your purchasing power.Partnering with Other Investors: Consider syndications or joint ventures, which can help you scale more quickly without using all your own capital.Diversify Markets: While the Midwest is great, keep an eye on emerging markets across the country that may offer similar benefits.Focus on Value-Add Opportunities: Look for properties where you can increase value through renovations or improved management.I specialize in selling new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis, and I’ve found that multi-family properties here provide strong returns.

It will always be best to put your own eyes on the property and see the neighboring houses, neighborhood etc. 

And like said, odd's are I know them, so from there I'd reach out and ask what the deal is, why there turning a blind eye.
