I am eager to learn the ins and outs of fixing and flipping properties and would love to hear from those with experience in the field. 

(FWIW,$8K on just the compressor seem excessive.)Otherwise, unless your contract with your GC says they will provide 24/7 surveillance, or you can prove the AC was never installed, you own the problem.If the property has been vacant for more than 30 days, most policies won't cover vandalism unless you have added a Builders Risk Addendum.

The property company they use was also very thorough in the way they handled the property.

Would you suggest subdividing the property, building a single house, or building multiple cottages/ tiny homes?

My accountant's office called me the other day and let me know that I could amend my 2022 tax return and claim losses due to Hurricane Ian to a primary residence property and a investment property. 

TLDR: Quicken (quickbook’s little brother) is super easy, cheap, and still overkill for someone with less than 20 properties.

I learned how to manage rental properties well with this property.

Some property managers will look at other factors, not just your credit score.

Just do a little bit of research and connect with a great property manager.

Nevertheless, if the RAD investors  actually had loans  collateralized against property they would be in a much better position.
