@Justin Goodrich I can speak for a lot of investors and say our biggest problems are out of our control. 

A San Diego host I know switched their lead photo between their pool and a cozy firepit setup depending on the time of year - it kept the listing fresh and boosted engagement year-round.Capture Functional LuxuryGuests love spaces that solve problems while feeling high-end.

Usually you all can tell me what rents are and then I like to solve backwards. 

Sorry, I don't have the servicer handy yet, but they are in WA I believe, not a problem.

We have found that a strategy that many thinks solves for some problems. 

Being clear about what you want to do from the start not only helps you stay on track, but it also makes it easier to spot problems or delays before they happen.I totally agree that talking to people is important.

If they pay the new amount on time no problem.

My point is that in my case I believe was a problem of the loan officer who I ended up using once more.

I'm in Oregon which basically whips people for being landlords but 99% of your problems are solved by getting good tenants so screen, screen, screen. 

They take good care of the properties, but there's not enough attention given to pricing strategy and they spend money like nobody's business (not a problem when they were spending their own money on the master lease model, but a BIG problem when they were suddenly spending OUR money as the PM).
