Landlords can enter a tenant's property for a variety of reasons, including: Making repairs or replacements Responding to a tenant's request Removing unauthorized window coverings Preventing waste of utilities Changing filters, testing, or replacing smoke detector batteries Inspections Helping with an emergency inside the unit Posting a notice of eviction"Research your state laws because some of your comments indicate a lack of understanding of the landlord/tenant laws where you are operating (like threatening the tenants to keep the security deposit if they don't respond to you, I doubt that is actually a valid reason to keep their deposit, or evicting for late payments, or charging the tenants for your warranty repairs because you missed your 11 month inspection window which was your responsibility, and it looks like your lease says you can charge up to 18% interest for unpaid fees, is that actually legal?).

My 2 cents is right there with the other guy, get into something on your own first to test the waters and know what it’s like to actually buy and do some work.

Let the tenants know you are doing this, so they can hopefully not use water while you're testing things.

It was a test, sounds like not a successful one.

The no is a test to see how they will take it and respond, whether they will listen.

In that situation I purchased a SF property 4 hours away from me this year as a fix-n-flip and to test the hypothesis that long distance fix-n-flips could be viable investments. 

I just extended my lease to a 2 year lease because of this success and fully believe that this airbnb will continue to do well.The newly onboarded airbnb:So the new airbnb had a little bit of a rough start, the laundry machine had to be replaced as it stopped working whilst I was testing things out in the home, I had a bit of a higher cost setting up the airbnb, (painted and filled in cracks that were previously present) but to be honest I spent around the same I would have spent if I had to fully furnish the home.

I do suggest putting the asset in the app ASAP to lower the audit risk.You can meet Substantially all participation tests (test no 2).

In response, I had a plumber and a water restoration company come to assess the situation.The restoration company cut into the drywall, and the plumber thoroughly inspected all the pipes, performed a leak test, and conducted a pressure test.

They can test even the sharpest investors.Another buddy of mine, who’s based in Austin, had a client that found herself caught off-guard by a last-minute inspection delay on her Oregon property.. from what I’ve heard in Forbes, the local market’s short supply of exchange-worthy replacements didn’t help either.
