I am not imagining a complete rehab, but new flooring/carpet, paint, stuff that can be done in a week or two.

It hasn't been enough of an issue that I tear my hair out, but there have been a few problems:Tenants washing laundry late at night while others are trying to sleep;Someone starts laundry and forgets to finish, leaving wet stuff in the washer or dry stuff in the dryer;Someone stole another person's detergent, softener, or even some of their clothing;Tenants don't clean the machines or the laundry room after use;Those are just a few of the most common issues.

HBR published an interview a few years back concerning demonstrative loyalty of an instance at an international hotel in Mumbai to which employees chose to protect patrons rather than run for their own lives.

I love David Greene's stuff as well.  

@Cynthia Pochatek did they give a reason they would not renew...We use American Modern for non-conforming or high risk properties ...one-off stuff...I think the bottom line is that you can get insurance from any carrier you want for the right price

The current tennant has been there for 7 years and he's great,  he does ALL the repairs,  I only pay for the larger materials expenses (like a water heater), but he pays for all the smaller stuff,  faucets,  plumbing,  outlets,  etc.   

Many people who would be great investors have a lot of other stuff going on in their life.

For instance my stuff is in the Smokies.  

I work in lead generation for an international ecommerce company.I use AI and semi-automated systems to identify and contact prospective leads for my clients business.So, I have a plan... to use my leadgen knowledge and systems to source commercial property for investors.And one day I hope to make enough to purchase my own dream property, a small farm not to far from the sea is my goal.

Currently though it's only the hardcore ghetto that has stuff in the $50k range.
