Mark Vorkapich of Gladstone Strategieshttps://www.gladstonestrategies.com/I do agree with the above on checking with your current CPA to see if they have a preferred provider - sometimes it is easier and with better results if your team already has a good relationship. 

I finally told her to forget it and relieved her from the 3k she owed me in damages and late rent.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

There were a myriad of reasons for these things - some excuses, some legitimate - but the reasons don't matter, only the results matter.

Equity paydown and modest appreciation would result in a small profit; not enough to justify a non passive investment but i will own a killer cabin.  

Tough to stay disciplined as "Past performance is no guarantee of future results". 

Quote from @Kar Sun: My tenant's lease is coming to a close and I am relieved she will be moving soon.She has been paying on time but has been extremely unpleasant and rude.While the money does not smell my mental sanity is more important than money in this case.She sent me a registered letter stating that she feels "unsafe because we have not done the fixes the way she wanted it".She requests to have her witness for a walkthrough.In my state a walkthrough is required but I am not about to grant it to her to bring any witnesses as that is not in my contract.If she feels unsafe she does not have t be present.I also do not treat a final walkthrough with a tenant as a final sign off.This walkthrough does not include a detailed inspection of the plumbing and the appliances that will be done after she departs.This is simply for the visible cosmetic issues and should take less than 1 hr.  

The definition of insanity is to do something over and over and expect different results.

There is increasing supply as a result of increasing demand but the real question you're asking is whether it's going to lead to oversupply and lower rents or not.

You'll need to invest hundreds of hours into the craft before you start seeing solid results.
