You're a lawsuit waiting to happen and you're in no position to serve your clients properly.If your broker refuses to offer comprehensive training and/or a mentor, find a new brokerage. 

Do I need to provide overnight accommodations or an overnight allowance for our renters and if so how much? 

Also Papersource University Online has a free training class, and Donna Bauer has a low priced, very comprehensive training program also.  

., thank you for taking the time to write out a comprehensive response.

@Dan White first I will talk to local bank, see if they will accommodate Seller financing as commercial loan. 

., Canada or Mexico (initially limited to these county's due to shipping scales of economy, to be expanded elsewhere if I can get shipping costs down).I ask this question for the purposes of:Paying the lowest LLC start up and recurring costs related to the LLC.Having the least amount of paperwork required to start, and maintain the LLC.Having the most comprehensive protection for such a business (& of course, for me the individual owner of the LLC).Aside from the LLC, I will get a CA class a cottage food permit and of course pay CA taxes. 

And this notion of managing the manager is overblown, particularly as you scale.  3rd party PMs may accommodate things like communication requests but they are largely not going to change how they manage vacancy and maintenance (the two largest costs of 3rd party PM) on an investors' handful of units differently than the other hundred of properties in their portfolio. 

Wondering if anyone is currently using something that accomplishes anything remotely close to this: Create and/or send comprehensive, automated drip campaigns using a variety of media including email, direct mail, ringless voicemail, and text messages.

The lender Bay Equity is having issues at the underwriter level because they do not know how to accommodate for the income of the sister in their own country.

@Michael Albaum and @Ryan Ingram, thank you both for your thoughtful and comprehensive answers.Can you think of any other responsibilities that an owner should handle despite utiliting a property management company?
