Heating costs and interest rates dont help the numbers but demand is high and resale numbers have been impressive

We decided the cost was too high and it was not worth it from a financial or risk perspective.  

Although I haven’t received an acceptance yet, I’ve been actively sending out LOIs to property owners.I’m aiming high with my first acquisition because I’ve heard many investors wish they had gone larger at the start.

I had two problem tenants back to back-one was a long term tenant and I don't know what happened with her (possibly drugs), the other covid hit and her and her husband split up and she got in with some troublemakers who she knew from high school. 

The way Prop. 33 is presented ("rent is too high") I could see people voting yes on it.

It's highly unlikely to go that low again in your lifetime.

If you’re not already using similar software, I’d highly recommend exploring these options—they can save you a lot of headaches down the road.

I haven't filed a claim all these years but insurance is for the what-if and to be used for the high-ticker items, but chances of damages exceeding the 5% is low.  

I believe they are expressing their displeasure with the fact that I have not accommodated some of their recent requests that went far beyond the scope of what is required (like insisting a licensed electrician switch out a smoke detector when we could do it ourselves) and I had to set some boundaries after years of high maintenance for them.

In other words if you do the electrical or plumbing repair right the first time it’s highly unlikely you will need to repeat the same repair again in the future.
