You on the other hand with a first larger property might get sticker shock on how much more the annual policy will cost you.

Good point @Charles Worth.Guess I was thinking about the 5 years and additional points etc.His rentals are SFR so think he will have sticker shock when going the commercial route plus needing an LLC.

If you look at the winterization sticker there is usually a date.

They will let their kids write on the walls, or worse, put up stickers (not wall-clingers, i mean stickers).  

Also, show up at HomeDepot on a Saturday morning and walk around the parking lot taking pictures of sub's magnetic stickers on their trucks saying what they do and their phone numbers.Hope this helps other newbies like me.

Generally, unless a person is from a city like NYC or SF, I usually tell them to prepare for a bit of sticker-shock when buying in the Seattle area.

I wouldn't base anything off your Austin-relative sticker shock though. 

Right now I have my VA calling on Craigslist ads, I'm putting window stickers on peoples cars with my phone number that say we buy houses-ish, some mailers about 200/week not earth shaking, needle moving....lol

They might want to hang 50 pictures on the walls and that's ok; we've had tenants put stickers on walls/ceilings/doors of the kids' bedrooms that can't be easily removed, so they leave them.
