I will look into that and see if we could swing that.

I self manage so dealing with just one tenant turn over takes time away from my family, my full time job, golf, etc.  

Rather than try to explain good vs bad neighborhoods on here why don't you swing by and check out NCREIG?

You'll end up having to be a little more casual about fixing items ("hey can you swing by now and fix {x}"), but you'll also get far less late rent checks. 

If the inspector knows you and trusts you they will often let things slide with a promise that you'll be right back with that battery or they'll offer to swing back by in an hour or two to check that you found a drain pan and pass you. 

Not swinging the hammer.

@Glen Smith  yup  some tough times for sure.. but we just picked ourselves up and came out swinging and we are better than ever now... !!!

I started that when I bought one of the units and was getting estimates on repairs/upgrades and the plumber could make a 10am and the electrician was available at 4pm and then the carpenter called saying they finished a job early and could swing by for the estimate as I was pulling in my driveway.  

It currently has a large playscape in the back yard with a swing, slide and all the bells and whistles.

Big house, sitting out by the pool, housekeeper, playing golf everyday, etc.
