Finally, look into house hacking as this is a really great way to gain sweat equity in a property that can be captured in a tax advantaged way every couple of years. 

I wouldn't sweat it if she calls city code for a vengeful complaint you have your records, you can show the unit has been serviced, and will comply with any fix orders they issue if it comes to that.As for the dead cockroach,, ya it's suppose to be dead. that's why the pest guy comes..

Plus I never understood why anybody in their right mind would sweat their a***s off in FL when they can go to Disneyland in 70 degree sunny weather and see the same thing.

The experienced folks, have done the heavy lifting, squeezing, sweat equity for a few bucks and hour and have gotten to a place where they just don't want/have to do that anymore.  

What's left of the middle class sweat for it.I think you misinterpreted my comments.  

I have thought about paying off the smallest loans first but since I've only owned the majority of these houses for 4 yrs or less I'm not sure if this is my best bet.For instance, if I have a property that I only owe 30k on its because I got it dirt cheap and put a ton of sweat equity in.

I like RE because I can fix stuff with my hands, but if an RE investor doesn’t bring a special set of skills to the table such as being able to source discounted properties, force appreciation through sweat equity, consistently making deals like the one you described in your other post, etc., they may be better off focusing on their day job and loading up on dividend stocks. $500/month cash flow and $70k profit on a single subject to deal is not the norm. 

As it is currently I enjoy the sweat equity in each project.

Quote from @Eric Goldman: if you can find a good deal and if it needs work be able to do it your self, sweat equity, you will make out alot better then finding on MLS and hiring contractor. this is given for any market, but i stress that this seems to be the only way in bucks right now.  

I found out the best policy tells the future tenant once they fill out the application that you will visit or send someone to the last apartment complex where they live and talk to neighbors and set back and watch them sweat and lose eye contact, and you know what you need to do next.Joe Gore
