As you've mentioned, great schools, area in general is nice and it's centrally located.

And for most of my clients, they are generally attracted to a city or market for personal reasons and THEN then find a property that works for them rather than looking at general market numbers...meaning, my clients can make money in ANY market, even ones where the population isn't growing, the rental demand is softening, and the rent-to-price ratios are less than attractive.So to you, does PA mean Pittsburgh, Philly, or central PA?

They asked for more—$15k to be exact, after not even being authorized to live there and or bothering to work things out with us all year; apparently, the John Doe in the house has PTSD and just finished dialysis (neither of which we knew since they never talked to us!)

Currently, I self manage using software program that centralizes the majority of information and messaging and pushes to all the platforms that we list the properties on. 

Florida, particularly Tampa and Central Florida, is a strong option because of steady demand, landlord-friendly laws, and solid appreciation.If you’re debating between short-term and long-term rentals, I’d say long-term rentals are more stable, especially with the recent saturation of Airbnbs.

Landlords should not be listed as an "Additional Insured" as that implies they have insurable interest (they don't) and have authority to file claims or receive coverage (such as in a lawsuit) from the renters insurance.  

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.

I would agree that looking outside of the central area would be able to find great deals.

Might be worth considering in areas closer to central san diego for more options especially if you want to be around $1M range.

I would let the tenant know that he is not authorized to live there.
