Do I have to give a tenant a written notice to vacate the unit upon lease end or is a text message fine?

The most useful switch I made was from a vendor who kept insisting the water was fine (it wasn't and no, the chemicals didn't just need more time) to a true pro who doesn't gouge us for maintenance and does a consistently great job.

If you can get a better deal on the home due to age its a fine and if you need financing banks do not judge year built. 

Non paying tenants(as a newbie I did no screening), dead tenants, Silly fines from the city for nothing, attempted robberies where I ended up with the cops pulled guns on me. 30 recently released convicts as neighbors for a while, a jacked up 7' tall transvestite call girl/drug dealer was my least favorite neighbor.

., I think you are fine to move on to another plumber.

In the northern ca fires a few years back it was downed power lines.. and PGE got massive fines for that..

You'll be planting oak trees to grow over time, not bamboo, and that is absolutely fine. :)

So it is fine for us to just list the property under my husbands name on the Schedule E even though we both own it, and I manage it?

It is a matter of time for Grocapitus to get fined or get shut down. or He may rebrand once more or try to hide behind someone else. he does not do the underwriting, just the power point. 

In my 30 years doing this I’ve found that as long as you address each issue that comes up properly and do the repair needed to bring that part of the building up to current code then you will be fine.
