Again, others might disagree.a) Track Record: Get the entire track record for the strategy.

My only concern with shower doors is that I've found that most tenants don't properly clean it as they are a bit harder to get into the tracks and everything so there may be a bit more mildew/soap scum build-up than what you would see with a curtain. 

In terms of mitigating your risk - particularly if you buy a condo - consider a newer building, steel or masonry construction, a unit on Floor 3 or above where Flood insurance wouldn't be necessary, larger buildings where costs are spread amongst more owners, and buildings with a financially healthy HOA (track record of good management, reserves in the budget to cover large capital expenditures, etc).

I've customized Pipedrive to track assets, set reminders, track what needs to be done, set due dates, keep historical notes, etc.

And you need to track your miles either way.Meals (or, rather 50% of your meals) while there are deductible, even if it's just you, as long as they are not unusually lavish.

As a lender, we know it's going to be a nightmare when we're financing a loan on a new build by track builders like Lennar, DR Horton, etc.

And ask questions under those topics, since people who can give a good answer are likely still tracking those topics.

Also yeah that's the big thing for me is finding some one that at least is on track with what I want to do.

It seems like you are on the right track and have taken some good steps here!
