Our 2nd generation of properties are getting ready to cashout and all are doing pretty well.

I would clean out the junk in the pole shed, clean the interior, repaint a neutral color, replace carpet and other light rehab tasks.

Take advantage of long term investment benefits - stomach the dips/rises & retire by 60, have a maid do my laundry/clean my house/cook my food, live in an area with nice weather, workout every day, ride motorcycles, drive sports cars, do track days, visit Vegas whenever I want.I plan to do this with income properties - buy a duplex, 3-4 unit, and into the bigger (15-20 unit) closer to retirement.Long Beach investors - hit me up!

After the housing crash, my long time tenants moved out and I was moving off to grad school, and I could not sell my house (I was way underwater on the mortgage), so I ended up renting it out.I only recently got above water on that house, and it is not the best investment property, but I'm keeping it for now since it is finally generating a positive cash flow.I've recently come into a lot more money (self-employed), and am now in a position to buy even more properties, but I want to do it right this time.

Craigslist and also used appliance dealers usually provide clean appliances and 90 day warranty for about 4 times cheaper than new

My husband has siblings and we want to try to keep it very clean cut.  

In cases like this, most metro areas have 1-3 list providers that publish data and a very clean format.
