There's plenty of solid markets in the mid west from Pitts, PA to the Rocky Mountains that allow investors to enter the game in the appropriate way. 

As Fort Collins becomes less affordable for the median wage earner, it's an easy commute to there from Loveland and you've also got easy access to some of the best outdoor recreation areas like Rocky Mt.

Yep, they rock. 

Good point, @Rocky V.

Joe  Rock i agree its just like taking your highest interest rate credit card and pay those first.. those 15 to 30% ones your making/saving that money by paying that debt off.. problem with the max debt rental cash flow ideology is you simply have bad days or weeks or months with the average C/D for sure and some B .. along with what if you have a life event that you need to liquidate.. you have too much debt and you want to buy something else or start a business that is more profitable than rentals or any number of things.

UNLESS: The cost to remove all the pastor and install sheet-rock is low enough to justify the job.I plan on doing a lot of the work myself/ hiring friends or highschool/college kids to help.

EDIT:  My 5/8" base board is actually thicker than my 1/2" sheet rock (I just double checked).

@Scott England @Rocky Griffin @Lee HaskinsThanks for the responses.

They've been on rocky ground for months already and this might be the straw that breaks my patience with them.
