These cities tend to command quality tenants, and they have great schools.

Windows--repair, replacement, etc--are on me. lol.I'm going to nag about replacing those dead trees in fall and I'm also going to see when we have it in the budget to refurbish the basketball court a little bit, and talk to the investors and see if they want to light it since right now, tenants have commandeered a light meant for illuminating the entry sign to shine onto the basketball court, and it's well located such that people playing after dark won't disturb people in the units.....

Paint peeled off everywhere they'd put up a Command strip?

I have a lot of friends up there and it commands good rents.

We decided it would be better to cap it off and go with a 3 zone ductless mini split to add home value and being able to list "heating & cooling" as a feature and command top rent for our area.The mini split option has some cons but is also way cheaper than replacing a boiler and it doing heating AND cooling is a nice benefit.

And start saving money, get a side hustle even if you command will allow it  -- even if you partner with someone on your first couple of deals, you'll still need some sort of capital more than likely. 

Factors to consider: military clauses for renters (they can get out of leases for a deployment or moving duty locations), demand for housing near bases is always there, steady paycheck, responsible and accountable for paying and upkeep of the property (you can contact their chain of command if they don't hold up their end of the bargain). 

That rent is currently high on Rentometer though my sfh can command that kind of rent.

Rehab still in progress but we expect to be able to command top rent given the location and the quality of the rental.

@Barbara Pinto, Mount Dora is very small, but does have a several block area near downtown that wouldn't be as attractive or command rents as the rest of the city.
