Period.Anyone can find and fix and even sell you a house these days.Not many can manage them well and honestly.So for all of you worrying about me or any other leader in the turnkey industry getting hit by a bus.It doesn't really matter if we do as long as there is a solid property management team in place with professional staff that can continue looking after your investments.The biggest and best turnkey companies in the country (We are still a tiny fish and no where near as sophisticated as some) have full blown departments with leadership roles and detailed processes, systems and manuals that probably work better when the founders and owners don't even get involved.This is something that we are striving for also.So for the time being, you will still see me poking my Dingo nose in everyone's business.I'll leave you with this:Have no fear, because my team is here.

If they want to thumb their nose at a landlord who wants to protect his asset by verifying their story as well as he possibly can, good on them.  

If your hart is set for multi just keep your nose to the grind stone as they say and something will eventually appear.

If one of these tenants thumbs their nose at you, then you screwed up in vetting, IMHO.

I did have an issue once before with a neighbor who had his nose in my tenant's business all the time and actually went on to my property and made some unauthorized "repairs." 

As long as you can afford/stomach/hold your nose at the moderately higher mortgage for 12-18 months, it should make far more financial sense to just eat that higher mortgage cost and refinance later into a rate for the long-term.

@Roger Verastegui I’m just starting to poke my nose into new home builds on existing lots in he Seattle area as well.

Too many people here in Cali believe that unfortunately appreciation is the only way to go.....and when they here about duplexes going for $120K in Ohio they turn their noses up at it.

It is nice to see strategies to not pay taxes, but I think a lot of times people bite off their nose to spite their face.

A prime example of where "government should keep its nose to itself" but didn't because the vast majority of those in society can't be trusted to do the right thing motivated by the private market.
