I am also spending considerably less on a per property basis, Every Door Direct Mail allows you to mail at a fraction of the cost.

The thermostat is currently in the hallway right near the door entrance of the building in the common area.  

I just put some flooring down in my home and cracks are typical.Take a look at the windows and door entrances for foundation issues.

I write into my lease rules that the tenant is responsible to keep their front door/walk/stairs free of "snow, ice and debris".  

If someone is collecting $1,000 a month on a consistent basis without enormous expenses then I am buying the house next door and throwing a granite countertop in and taking that tenant away. 

I do have about 30 doors that are paying their own way and are on 15 year notes. 

This tells you from the outside that there is opportunity to add value in updating the property, but also, the inside may match the outside (original cabinets, pink tile in bathroom etc.)Aside from deferred maintenance, look for properties that are on busy streets, next to a gas station, or has any challenges to them.

The other way around is a waste of time.There are areas in LA where a triplex or a fourplex are a good way to get into buy and hold investment, as the price per door is more affordable than SFR/condos.

3,700 square feet, five bedroom and four bathroom, huge kitchen and living area at the end of a cul de sac on a 10,000 square foot lot and if you know anything about Las Vegas, its a big lot.

@Houtan Moravej if you ever consider expanding next door into Orlando get in touch.
