Quote from @Pat M.:

I have a unit where the air conditioning is out and it is extremely hot. Parts required and it will be a week to get fixed. May be a silly question and I'm a new landlord and was wondering what if anything I should do for them in the interim while we wait for the parts to repair the unit. 


 I would try and get them some fans or portable unit. Happy to connect you with a local AC company if need be.

Quote from @Michael Sprouls:

@Will Gaston Yes, I found that thread almost immediately after posting this. Thank you so much for putting that together and for remaining active on this topic! There's a wealth of information in there that has been extremely helpful so far. 

I think I read in there that you try to stick with higher quality properties. In your experience, will you buy move-in ready homes or do you always look for a value-add opportunity?


 Value-ad. 

I can only speak for 1 market, but it's hard to imagine buying a nice, turnkey home near a major state school and the numbers work well in today's market. There are sharpshooters at every school. And those kinds of properties have been snatched up.
