I would definitely not recommend this because you'd be liable for any injuries caused. 

Lawsuit from tenants for personal injury!

If you do buy California property, you may want to consider whether filing in another state is worth it when you can just have a CA LLC since you will need to register there if you're a resident anyway.Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

I've said this before, but have friends and colleagues make the mistake of hiring a family member who is a divorce lawyer, or they know someone who does personal injury, owes them a favor, etc.

At my family's building, we also have cameras recording the sidewalk around the building (corner property) and archive the video for 3 years. 3 years is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York.

However, if you have a major loss (death, permanent injury) as a result of your negligence, then the policy on the rental property may not have enough coverage and the plaintiff can sue you for everything else you own. 

Furthermore on the topic of military perks- i don’t know your job but after 10 years in the military I’m assuming you’ve sustained a good amount of injuries and that your body will only continue to deteriorate.

Believe it or not, many foreign students will still try to squat on a sit toilet and this can result in damage to the toilet and possibly horrible injuries if the toilet breaks.

Aloha,Before you request new proposals from a variety of vendors, you need to determine what, exactly, are your requirements.You should have an accurate total yard size, not "probably about"; how many linear feet of concrete edging; are there shrubs, hedges, or trees to maintain and/or trim around, and estimated sizes; other obstacles to work around or be cautious of; is loose trash, or excessive fruit dropping, an issue that needs to be addressed prior to mowing; minimum/maximum grass height expectations (address areas where scalping might be a problem, and how "rain days" are handled in terms of scheduling and charges); what type of schedule do you actually need; are you ok/is property suitable for using string trimmers for all areas, or must they use a push/ standard mower; bag and remove the waste, or blow it to specific area (that will not upset your neighbor); do you require periodic weed killer/fertilizer, and spot weed killer; is there/do you need an irrigation system to properly maintain some/all of the yard area (if so, the system should be checked periodically for proper operation and settings, and at every visit after mowing/trimming complete all heads should be checked to ensure none are broken); and most importantly, be sure your vendor has appropriate insurance to protect YOU in case of injury to your tenants, their vehicles, your property, or the workers, caused by their operation of rotating equipment or other job related efforts.

I believe she actually needed surgery from the injury.
