@Patrick L. even in Fl I can't see the added liability and cost of maintenance being viable for a pool except in perhaps high end rentals.

My only exception is for larger projects where there is a lot of materials involved, then I will pay a deposit towards materials costs.

There are no other improvement except main utility lines.

HUD does not install heating systems and does not make repairs except for safety issues.

I wouldn't expect to hire someone every year, except for the new properties you purchase.Lastly, owning rental property is not exactly "passive".  

Except to incentivize us to be active on the forums, that is. :) @Zach Schwarzmiller I totally understand disliking the classroom.

If it is an emergency situation, that is an exception, as clarified in the lease agreement.Our tenants have come to trust us and know that we do regular inspections.

The numbers aren't exceptional to make it worth the risk.
