We had someone in our subdivision up there build a brand new cabin years back and from what I have heard it's not renting out as consistently as the owner thought.So the cabin really isn't a money maker, and it is nice to have around.  

I would never accept much less make a purchase with any home inspection report from a seller, I personally know that realtors pick their best deal maker home inspectors, the wording in the home inspection report precludes the possibility of recourse nor would I be involved in a trust basis purchase, there are so many possibilities for a serious issue to come up and the buyer will get stuck with a bad investment, always have your own home inspector do a thorough report on any home you are seriously considering, buyer beware of everything especially seller home inspection reports, facts.  

Also, make sure you are really okay with the idea of not being the only decision maker, or having zero control at all in the performance of the investment.

.- Of course self managing will allow you to save and can sometimes be the difference maker of a property cash flowing.

I am a very real person and I make real money doing deals.

Resist the temptation or pressure to make real estate acquisitions based on what you see others doing.

We have 14 units - I sent an email 3 weeks prior to April 1st asking if anyone was affected by COVID19 and I also linked everyone the unemployment information put out by the State of Ohio.One week out from April 1st I reached out to everyone personally and asked if they were affected and if they thought they'd make rent on the 1st.

I intend to make RE my income.

You always hear "buying a house is the best investment you can make" "Renting is like throwing your money away".

if you have the ability to provide these appliances and  can hook them up safely and  easily -   do it and increase the rent a bit  ....if it is  challenging to get these installed / hooked up - forego the  appliances and make  rent lower for the tenants inconvenienece
