Signed contract in Nov 2018 for two houses on the same parcel.

I prefer to get a google voice number and link it to my cell so that that is the number the tenants know and use rather than giving out my personal cell.Have some means of tracking income and expenses for reporting and tax purposes.My state doesn't require a separate bank account for deposit so I just have the single account for income, expenses, and deposits.1 SFH shouldn't be any problem at all.

Regarding the yellow letters, post cards, phone calls, forced voice mails (no preceding call) and so forth, I get multiple ones per week if not per day.

I have worked on some houses over the years that I am shocked that they have stood around this long, seeing some of the framing and the failures before they knew certain things we now know with modern building science and product/technique innovation.

@Bruce Ray I closed on my first property in nov.

You should voice your concerns to your CPA.Most CPAs work 60-80 hours a week from the last week of January to April 15th on statutory compliance work alone. 

You've voiced some of the same questions that I have.  1) You're right.

Hello, BPMy wife and I decided to place our then primary residence for rent in Nov/Dec '19.

I've had a few tenants whose leases ended in Nov or Dec which was a bad time to try to get new tenants.

THAT'S how you gain and maintain marketshare, sticking to examples we all know about, we can point to biggerpockets, we can point to the growth of zillow/redfin/etc (hate em all you want, you can't argue with success), the growth of the iPhone from when it was launched, and so on.For existing giants trying to maintain marketshare, you just gotta stay relevant, you gotta stay important, you gotta keep innovating.
