I've refined and updated my buy box, currently SF detached houses built since year 2000, with 3 bedrooms, 2+ baths, central air, and 2 car garages, in areas with good schools, low crime and economic growth. 

Its appearance in an office chatroom gave it an added air of legitimacy.

Umbrella Policies are good, but they are not an asset protection tool, they only cover litigation/damages after you’re already in litigation or found personally liable.

Ex) $500 to get them out without damaging anything vs ~$1000-$2000 in legal & other fees. 

You do the most damage with the least exertion, beautiful, ....yeah Elevate owns some of the worst properties in the worst parts of town here in Houston.

Would diligently screening them limit the risks of tenants damaging the property?

Looking for people's advice on whether or not to pursue small claims court lawsuit for all my costs (rent, advertising, damages, legal minus deposits).

I have a rental with ceiling fans in every room, I am afraid if they start making noise, or don't produce enough air for tenants liking I will get complaints and they will ask me to replace them. 

I then added central air.

We did notice some water damage in the front of the house but was told the roof is in good condition.
