Taking away ground will make a device more sensitive to damage from ESD (shocks, power surges, lightening).

@Hai Loc very obvious. 2 blocks from university, 6-bedroom, individual leases.

My thoughts would be that once the tenant vacates you go through the property and assess the damages from the security deposit and return any unused portion.

The neighborhood is nice but it’s the smallest home on the block surrounded by larger homes (1550 sq ft, 4 bdrms/2bath/single story).

If you use Vrbo/Airbnb are you just going to block out the calendar that you don't own?

In the other there was some roof damage but based on what they would cover it didn't make sense to go forward given the deductible.

But I am wondering if my insurance would cover if they accidentally damage or burn part of the house (due to the extra wiring and lights in the garage)?

Our land is in a gentrifying neighborhood in a suburb of Charlotte, NC and I think the real value is for someone who wants a long term hold, as land in this location (6 blocks from a revitalized city center) is rare, not readily build-able for multifamily. 

I will not allow this road block to stop me.

Nervous about no reserve cash in case of damages/accidents.OR2) Invest out of area, in a more affordable market, where I can afford a 20% down payment and hire agents, contractors, and managers to handle the rehab, leasing, management?
