@V.G Jason Stress can also come from something out of your control.

After assembling a lot of bed frames, I prefer the Zinus brand, and I would recommend contract grade furniture.Don't forget to sign up for pest control and both a renter's and landlord policy on your insurance.Hi Miguel - I’m also looking at the midtown  Sacramento area for multifamily…what is “contract grade” furniture please ?

The only thing constant in life is change AND ultimately the only thing we control in life is our Response to what happens.  

I'm sure there are many more experiences where the contractor hasn't fulfilled their scope of work and gotten away with rushing the project to meet the deadline, And, I don't want to be as naive to say that I'm that 1% who can have complete quality/operational control, but I'm confident I can establish a system and hire independent inspectors to review the contractor's work. 

I would also try to minimize expenses through decreasing cleaning costs, installing smart tech like a thermostat to control utility costs, etc.5.

I'm in a beach area where Sat to Sat rentals have been traditional for 100 years, but not any longer since the rise of Airbnb (and less control by local property management companies).

For example, in my state PA there is an inheritance tax and many TAX auction properties originate from people passing away and the heir(s) not taking control over the estate and paying those property taxes.

The only company that Neal has had full control over is called Grocapitus.

Also, check if they have skin in the game (their own money invested), as it shows they’re confident in the deal and aligned with your interests.If you’re considering alternatives, REITs are fantastic for super-passive investors who want steady, low-effort returns—usually about 2 points above a savings account—but you lose tax benefits and control.

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).
