But I have this one particular tenant, she's been calling me about pest issues, specially ants, twice in the last 6 months. 

Once you turn the unit how long will you have to wait before you have another renter for your type of unit in your neighborhood.

It sounds like you've really thought through not just what a good deal looks like today, but the other factors that will contribute to a more long-term appreciating value.

Now I see people accept the $1000 and turn around and "rent the garage" for $200 per month or "rent the appliances" which is legal so long as the garage are appliances are not included amenities on the HAP contract. 

Saw a house with a For Sale by Owner sign in a yard with tall grass and after some drama, we have a house.We have dealt with long term rentals for over 15 years, but not aggressively ( keep them rented and do some improvements ).This "old house" needs, updated HVAC, new roof, new kitchen, some broken windows, upgraded electrical, water run off issues...I'm just starting to clear the house out with multiple dumpsters and starting to get quotes.  

I'm an infill lot wholesaler, and I've managed to wholesale nine deals since last August, In my first year in this business.

It's in a city (outside the USA in Mexico) that has seen major growth the last 3-5 years and has great prospects to continue growing thanks to nearshoring and high cost of living across the border in the USA.I spoke to an architect and it looks like a 4-unit building can be built on there.

We have a single-family long-term rental in Port Charlotte that we'd like to keep the current mortgage rate, but we do have some equity we'd like to have access to.
