Thank you for your time and patience!

Over time your Tampa investment will start to cash flow.

Those should not need attention (in a perfect world) for some time. 

Outside of West Oakland, what areas would you say are likely to go up in value over time - what pockets/neighborhoods are you looking at?

This was the very first time they had rented it; brand new landlords.

Lol.They have decent deals from time to time, but they are usually volume based, not in tune with market, and more motivated to push a sale than to really see if a deal is good or not.

You can hand them over all your information to organize at tax time and their staff should be able to organize everything and get your taxes filed.

You've done well with your Class A rental, generating $500/mo in cash flow, this adds up over time.

It's great to be prepared and have your duck in a row but we don't even start discussing eviction until they are at least a month late or behind by 1.5 months of rent. 25% of the time tenants are going to be late and about 10% are going to be late consistently.

Income would cover rent for a short time.
