We have been very sweet to these tenants - we rented them home when they had no credit history, we fixed every problem they reported(and they reported every small thing they noticed), we took care of them when the kitchen was non functional for a couple of days.

Additionally my experience is that SFH detached tenants stay longer, pay more utilities, bring more appliances, and take care of more functions and maintenance.

added value by building out a full functional NY style deli/bodega on one side and updating already established laundromat on other side Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The vast majority of PMs focus on long term rentals which are very standard in terms of the functions they provide.

Use the lookup function for two posts.

I see alot of 12-18 year old tanks in the properties I purchase and aside from being limed up, they function.

As no two properties will function and perform the same..

The world cannot function like that.

Unfortunately I am a OOS investor so at this point a personal walk through might be tough.You are right, at time of move in everything was good. 4 months later tenant claimed he saw 2 roaches and complained about garrage door not functioning properly .

The main function of this is to prevent co-mingling, which could potentially have adverse tax implications and jeopardize your asset protection.
