You’ve passed all the tests in the calendar year, your cleaners/managers haven’t spent more time than you because the time in the year isn’t physically there.

I looked around my neck of the woods, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, Oklahoma and I looked at safety, prices, appreciation, cash flow, landlord friendliness, property taxes, insurance rates, growth, high tech moving in, job growth, disasters and availability of good deals.I settled on Arizona.

Will you hire a cleaner or a personal chef to cook a meal once in a while?

Modular homes are built to BOCA standards, the same as stick built houses, and come on a wood frame, and on a trailer. 

If you're in our neck of the woods, we'd love to connect in-person!

For example we have instructions on each house to have the guest or cleaner reset thermostat to avoid having to charge a trip charge etc.

But if the property keeps you cash-strapped or stressed, sometimes redeploying the equity into a cleaner deal is the better move.Either path can be right; what matters most is aligning the choice with your goals, risk tolerance, and bandwidth.

For example, my cleaner and handyman at my STR have separate cards so the only thing that ever gets charged to that card is that expense.

Wood, tile, acrylic and others alternatives (done well) are impressive, durable and functional.

But unlike conventional systems, ATUs also use oxygen to break down organic matter, much the same as municipal wastewater treatment systems, but in a scaled-down version.Because ATUs decompose organic solids quickly, the wastewater leaving the system is cleaner.
