@Don KonipolI view these trends as both things that people are participating in AND things that are being done to them.Silicon Valley hires the best and brightest to make phones, social media, games and apps addictive. 

Once I got a second LLC and STR it wasn't easy to manage by myself or setup without hiring someone so I looked at Stessa and Digb.

For more info, check out the law itself AB968: https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB968/id/2764362 https://www.car.org/riskmanagement/qa/New-Laws/2024-New-LawsAll of the "owner-builder" folks that would get permits for work and then hire unlicensed, uninsured, discount companies to do the work for as cheap as possible will pivot. 

If you are missing any of TIE, you are far better off financially hiring a local property manager.  

Many are jacks of all trades and will charge you to learn to do what you hired them for.

Loosening some of that up or at least streamlining the process and hiring more people in those departments so that it doesn't take a year to get a building permit would be better than wasting time trying to convert unbuildable federal land into new housing developments.

I don't have a judgementDo you have to hire a lawyer if the tenant has already Vacated? 

This includes hiring an inspector to check for structural problems, arranging for a pest inspection, and getting a professional appraisal to ensure the property's value matches the bank's asking price.

You could invest passively by being a private lender (earning high interest), being a money partner (getting equity and a return for no work), investing in a syndication deal (similar to money partner but on bigger deals where you are one of many investors), buying another investment property and hiring a property management company, or investing in stocks. 

If you're not comfortable with the eviction process, hire an attorney.https://guides.sll.texas.gov/landlord-tenant-law/eviction-pr...
