It's easy to teach with a TV show, where 1,000's can watch, but bringing people inside the home is a huge challenge. 

Again, I'm just trying to figure out where potential bodies might be buried as I go down this path.

At any given time I can scan the list for missing payments.

Unless it's illegal in your area for contractors to take on work without a license, or local code prevents a GC from pulling permits, the only real disadvantage is that the contractor can't be censored or punished by the licensing body, which usually takes the form of loss of license and fines.

Scan properties from all over the area to get a general feel is one of the best things you can do.   

Upon inspection the tenant still had table, chairs, random junk, tons of clothes, and garbage strung out across the unit, not to mention a broken window and holes in walls where it appears a body was slammed against. 

When he did send it over it wasn't even an E-Sign or DocuSign......I was out having dinner with friends and literally had to go to a Kinkos, print out a bunch of pages.....sign them......and then re-scan them back to him.

Scanning the forums, I do not see anybody touching this topic and I feel it would get a great response with all the potential in the forum space. 

Should I scan all receipts, keep in a folder on my desktop?

Then about 50 pages of rules and regulations, this is the most important part, and is part of the reason you want HOA docs in word or PDF format, not scanned if possible.
