If it is urgent, i.e. water is flowing through the ceiling, call, but beyond that it needs to be a text, since most are not super urgent and can fixed with a phone call to a repairman.Rent: My only process is a mental one.  5 tenants have their checks automatically issued and mailed through their bank, so those always come on time. 

If the tenant ever calls with an issue, I just mentally assume I'm about to be out at least $1,000 before they even tell me what it is.

It isn't a free service, from what I've seen, I believe the costs range from $100-200 per cert. per animal.You are allowed to ask for official documentation from the medical/mental professional who provided the ESA/ADA certification to verify the legitimacy of the animal.

I said **** that and through a lot of luck, suffering, grit and a do or die mentality, I walked out of there 3 months later before spending a month on my own in Denver while rehabbing in outpatient.

Be mentally prepared to walk away.

The more versatile and available your capital stack the better off you'll be trying to navigate similar situations.

I've been reading so many real estate books that teach how to be a better investor, but now I'm trying to find books that help someone be a better person by becoming mentally strong.

As strange as it sounds, $499K versus $500K is a huge mental barrier, although it is only $1000.I would offer $511,223 for the property.

I grow tired of the whole mentality in this country that if something befalls you, you immediately try to find someone convenient to transfer it to. 

Having some mental blocks and mental overloads with all of the information but this is something i have to do.
