I'm genuinely curious – why aren't real estate investors proactive?

The customer service is awesome though and when they explain why I am having issues, it usually makes sense, but these types of things just aren’t an issue with Stessa.

It's a hard job and there aren't many great ones out there. 

File a casualty loss using Form 4684 and Schedule A if losses exceed $500 and aren’t fully covered by insurance.

If property values are stable or increasing, your strategy might be solid.Exit Strategy Since you plan to refinance in 12-18 months, consider what happens if interest rates don't drop or if refinancing terms aren't favorable at that time.Questions you might want to askAre there any zoning or regulatory issues with converting or renting the units as mid-term rentals?

My Milwaukee clients aren't using that method, but as you know it can help with closing deals quickly.

MLS deals almost never work because they aren't distressed and can't be bought at a discount.I'll give you a live example of one I just took a shot at here in PA.  

For example in wildfire areas here, buyers aren't able to get traditional homeowner's (or rental dwelling insurance if an investor) insurance and conventional Fannie Mae and Freddie Mae loans.

At this time we aren’t pulling funds from that home.

Guys, when a rental company is filling your unit with people they aren't meeting or ID'ing - then doing nothing about it if turns out the people are a problem -  you are royally SCREWED.
