Managing a rental yourself can be time-consuming, especially if you're handling maintenance, tenant relations, and lease enforcement. 

Ask your agent or broker if the insurer is on that list, or view that list at the internet website of the California Department of Insurance: www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/120-company/07-lasli/lasli.cfm.8. ....=================================== Hey Xian!

This negative equity position consumes the initial cash flow to re over the negative equity position.  

I consumed a lot of Pace's content and eventually saw this video with Kevin Choe and Josh Boenzi. 

Securing quotes for properties in flood zones can be challenging and time-consuming (especially if vacant), so it’s unlikely you could have done it quickly.

So, there is even more risk.The things that you can do, include being properly capitalized, not be greedy, (in whichever way that may be defined in the county you are buying), know solicitation laws, know Dodd-Frank, the Consumer Protection Act, the S.A.F.E.

In past history (IMO), the ones that contribute less and stay home all the time seem to break more things faster and consume more things.....and sec8 requires you to repair or fix it.I do not take a loss for sec8 vs market.

The problem with hand written notes is that they can be time consuming.
