If the area passes all the above (there are more criteria but these are the main ones) then you are ready to consider what type, configuration, location and rent range do best in the area you are considering.

If you configure your code in a smart way then this should be an easy swap in the future.

(light in room, configuration, style, etc.) 

Configuration of the unit 4.

I understand that but figured this is a starting point.This is just one possible property configuration as a step to reach my goals.  

Also, older properties tend to have more maintenance.Once you have your top 5 cities, the next thing you need to know for each of your candidate cities is the type, configuration, location and rent range of the best rental properties.

Often times the neighborhood, view, lot configuration, etc. makes or breaks your interest in the property right off the bat. 

The area, unit mix, financials, configuration, etc.... 

Thus, I haven't spent much time in GNUCASH configuring accounts for rental expenses.

No one really does it though because these old multi's have piping in all sorts of crazy configurations that isn't conducive to splitting it.
