Any recommendations on the most efficient way to track your time when classified as a real estate professional?

The cash value in the policy service as collateral for the loan.

My concern is doing the cash out refi on my other rental and causing a new and much higher payment on it that I can't just pay off like a loan.

You will have to pay an annual fee for this service, but it takes the repairs and Tenant requests off your plate. 

To make up the difference of the total price, I used seller credits, lines of credit, and second mortages on other properties. 

My coach suggested (and I implemented) a "must do tracker"....it's a color coded spreadsheet (I like to print multiple copies and keep them on a clipboard to stay in my sight/top of mind). 

You will be providing other services if smart, things like great high speed wifi, cable isn't a bad idea as it's a good pacifier.

That is done via placing the highest quality tenant possible, keeping issues to absolute minimum, keeping maintenance and service calls to minimum, because to make it work properties have to operate on cruise-control.

There is a great group of members on here to connect with.

They are definitely responsible for starting the fire, whether utilities were on or not.If tenant has insurance, they should file a claim.
