I just haven't gone through anything like this and am curious from others on how to handle it from a landlord point of view.  

I know Property Meld has something built into their Maintenance dashboard where it asks for reviews after maintenance issues are handled and I think if they rate 4 or 5 starts they then ask for a google review and if it's 3 or below it stays internal and gets circulated around so the team can figure out what went wrong and improve on it.

Since you’re considering Tahoe, where you might use the place as a short-term rental when you’re not there, it’s also good to outline how you’ll handle personal use versus renting it out.I’ve seen folks succeed with this by treating it like a business, even if you're all friends.

We also can really only handle one acquisition every 12-18 months. 

Hello all, I am coming to the end of the lease with my first tenant in a duplex that I'm living in, and plan on not renewing the current tenant's lease for various reasons. What is the best way to give notice and what...

If anyone here has tried it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or any experience you’ve had with it.Also, if anyone has a workaround or knows of another platform that handles AppFolio better, I’m all ears!

How are landlords with student rentals handling this?   

We went way over our expected budget - by far our worse budget miss ever (remarkably we were only 0.5 week over our 2 month timeline).Using my rule, take the estimates and double them then add for lost occupancy and that is what I would be seeking or the owner have the work done using licensed contractors and do the work, take the risks, and suffer the vacancy costs.If you purchase having to do the work and your appraisal can handle it, the credit at closing is superior to price discount.  

In addition to that, you still need an additional 24 months of practical construction experience to qualify, which is more than enough time to weed out anyone who can't handle the real-word construction industry.

This is the best entry point for a first time real estate investor because you will live right next door to the units while also managing.
