I signed a one-year note, starting at 18% interest and accelerating to 20% in the second year in the event of non-payment, which technically the note is now in default.

Mind you, it was a rental sometimes, but it was still my owner-occupied house technically on paper.I qualified for an SBA disaster loan covering almost all of my damage.

Is that from a marketing standpoint a technical aspect or both? 

Registered agent is in case you need to be served legal papers, they will accept them on your behalf unless you would want to be served at your home or work, and technically it must be a place where you are available between working hours. 

To that end, I made a Google sheets document with every hospital system in GA along with the following data:CityZip CodeRentometer 2/X   (what a 2 BR, any bath) goes for on Rentometer)RentRentometer 3/1+ Rent (what a # BR, 1.5+ bath) goes for on Rentometer)"Minutes to home"  (how far a drive it is for us)"Staffed Beds"  (measure of how big a hospital is)"Total Discharges" (a different measure of hospital size)"Patient Days"  (yet another different measure of hospital size)"Gross Patient Revenue ($000)" (you guessed it, hospital size)Map Searches & Housing Requests (this and everything below was from FF.com stats page)Furnishedfinder.com Page ViewsTotal RoomsPrivate Rooms % UnitsHotels% Whole Place > 2500 %Whole Place > 2k < 2.5k %Whole Place > 1.5k < 2k %Room > 1500 %Room > 1k < 1.5k Page view per roomThis allowed us to narrow our search to hospital systems near us (less than 2 hours) in a less competitive market (higher page views per room advertised on FF.com) with a significant % of units being rented on FF.com at higher rents (more $). 

Quote from @Kaven Li: Is it reasonable to ask the PM to at least make a visit next time to brief the service provider on what the issue is, or is this technically outside of the scope of a usual PM's services?

I'm a technical trader working with a community of over 70,000 members.

Ok, maybe this is still too technical for many so i will simplify: To get "passive" 17% on wall street means betting on a team of people who juggle chainsaws while unicycling on a tight-rope strung between two trotting elephants, while humming star spangled banner on a kazoo.

.: Quote from @Erik Estrada: They are technically more expensive than a traditional 30 year fixed. 

There is very little technical knowledge needed, but there is a lot of common sense needed.I would google "rental property investing for beginners" and see what you uncover.
