I was honestly surprised by his investing approach when it comes to Real Estate.

This includes (but not limited to):-Quiet Hours-What spaces can and cannot be used-Guest policy (make sure to limit days in a row and in a month)-Pet policy (even if you don't allow pets, if someone has an ESA animal, it would be good to have guidelines in the event they surprise you with one, otherwise you are SOL and of course take into consideration fair housing laws)-How is trash put in the cans (in bags, not just thrown in) and when can trash cans be taken to the street and put back-How is the late free structured (one time flat fee or a daily fee)2.
