Moving on was tough, but helping him make peace with that was main part of the negotiation process no one else touched on.

I would explain to them your process of handling requests, response times, property inspections, and so on.

For your first rental property, starting in an area you're familiar with can make the learning process easier, as you’ll better understand the market and can handle issues directly.

These programs often assert to guide you step-by-step through the process, provide assistance with funding, and connect you with contractors.

It really depends on what you are looking and I think your thought process is correct.

I would work on my communication of my processes including letting them know asap of their schedule with me. 

Rents will rise much at a much faster rate, so the challenge of finding cash flow (enabling more investors to become "capable") will gradually recede as SFR cap rates gradually expand - it will be a process, not an event - over the next few years.

All funds process through various channels but the PMS (with trust accounting which is very important) keep track of all the funds and then we disburse monthly to the owner. 

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

I'd start the refinance process right away, or just pay it off, or sell.
