I figure that everyone has a cellphone these days and if a guest drops by then they can simply call the tenant when they have arrived to be let in.

When the guest arrives they capture the condition of the cart, then signs the digital rental agreement/damage waiver and a lockbox code is given.  

You've arrived at a figure of 2% by doing that.

Title underwriters are wired differently and see risk that’s either invisible to us (due process noticing, etc.) or non-existent (odds of an heir born in 1850 objecting to a petition in open court). 

Councilmember John Nolte mentioned that in rent-controlled cities in other LA County cities, that hardship petitions from housing providers was non-existent.

. - You're minimizing how much is coming out of pocket when closing arrives. 

I've never seen this as an option and only collect the morning after the guest arrives. 

However, if one walks 15 minutes the other way (about 0.5 miles), they would arrive in a war-zone, a public housing project where there are murders reported almost every year.

returning a low yield (~4%) which would be unwise to sell given political uncertainty currently limiting the home value increase.I have set a deadline by when I must arrive at a decision and would welcome any thoughts that can assist in doing so :) I have a lot of question marks but based on what you have told me...

No new arrivals.
