That notice would have been a 5 day remedy or quit, it would have detailed the lease violations, which beyond quite enjoyment, would have detailed his refusal to let your landscaper perform routine maintenance and his behavior that required the police to be called.

Rather it assumes you'll have some nominal vacancy like a couple of weeks or a month for a turn over, a nominal amount of routine maintenance (which is mostly caused by tenants, not the property, so being rehabbed doesn't translate into no maintenance), property management (which you can earn back if you do it yourself, but which you will earn), etc.

Claudia, sometimes the tenant isnt home when the repair is done so I do not routinely get signatures that work was done but I do try to keep a log of all their requests per tenant in my rental management software; if i think i should get a signature i will but i usually do not.

You should not have any problem with anyone raising an eyebrow to you representing yourself however, I strongly recommend hiring someone who will give you sound advice, one who will completely look out for your best interest, and someone who knows the law well when it comes to commercial real estate.

You know the stuff that is underwritten by Fannie or Freddie and requires a proctology exam (on you) to get through underwriting.The other approach is to tap into small local banks who routinely lend money for real estate investments.

So, I went through the routine.

I would do a routine inspection and if there is a dog let the tenants know they are in violation of the lease.

I have always used document preparer services like legal zoom to quickly form LLC's, of course if you plan on making them so routine (ie for each property) I would research lowest cost options as you could simply form out the work the same way a document preparation service does.

"the corporate veil is routinely pierced") on here, then I am skeptical.

The 24 hour notice is for routine access to the unit for maintenance, not emergency reasons.And you missed the point of the OP's situation a bit, because the owner has a duplex with upstairs and downstairs.
