There will always be issues with some residents and those will take up a majority of your time and effort.Then there will be the occasional pipe bursts, small fires, etc.Dealing with tax appeals, tax returns, insurance shopping.If you have investors, keep them updated and informed throughout. 

There may be an occasional little city somewhere, but generally they're going to be more strict.

I always have bloated prices in my head for everything.

Hi all, I have a 3-plex, and the person living upstairs occasionally has people over or is just making noise at later times of the night.
