These tenants were properly screened, passed background, credit checks, employment, etc.

You also need to replace the carpet and couches after each summer because they will be ruined.The summer people are really obnoxious and destructive and not worth it.  

Upstate CREIA (check our website) has over 600 members here in Greenville and as far away as California.

I usually tell my investor clients that if the building itself will be in a flood zone (not just parts of the lot), it's not worth the investment unless it's a steal and you're able to pay off any mortgage easily if flood rates rise ridiculously (and you can afford to pay for any flood damage, yourself). 

However, when my program ends in roughly 4 to 5 years, I plan on moving back in with my parents (in the Dallas-Fort Worth area) and saving to buy my own place.

My point is my time is worth $000’s per day also.  

Folks if you have condo in upper unit with water heater please check its condition, make sure it's not rusty and/or has potential for leaking.

It's worth a discussion. 

I've already done quite a bit of research in my area and can already pretty much tell you what a property is worth or at least generally what it will sell for as I spend about 3 hours a day looking at properties and have been doing that for about a year to make sure I'm prepared on the accuracy side of things.I do have a family member that is a real estate agent in the area, but I'm not sure if a standard single family residential agent is the correct connection for multifamily.

Are checks/receipts/proof of payments needed or would transfers be ok?
