Why would you lock yourself into a lease with a tenant when you have no indication of whether they can be good tenants?

I have known a LOT of co-workers that have left Cali only to realize they are locked out of ever returning.  :-( My wife and I make a good income.  

I have limited experience with SBA Hotel loans, but depending on the structure you may be able to refinance with conduit debt and forego the recourse, as well as lock in to 75+% LTV, 30 year am, 10 year money (with mez debt maybe higher than 80%) with unbeatable rates (usually 275 basis points over the 10 year). 

If anyone has any recommendations, I`m all ears!!   

Install guys let themselves in if it is vacant using key from the lock box.

It is not that hard really.Your best bet is to get a great cleaning team that will be your eyes and ears.

However, since we live so far from the school especially I don't want the market to fall, then I am locked into this location for 10 years. 

In one triplex that is spread out, we use the Orbi WiFi extender, and it works great, highly recommend that if anyone needs to increase their WiFi range.Once you have WiFi, get a Yale NEST Smart lock.

As you can see I need a lot of help, but If anyone has any advice I'm all ears.  

@Hunter Locke a realtor friend just suggested 10% for Capex and 10% for repairs on a monthly basis.
