This creates a buffer between the tenant and the owner, allowing you to take time to mull over complaints and requests and decide the best course of action.

@Phillip Rosin Sink - if stainless steel, use a buffer and polishing compound.

I am just glad that I prepared for this..all of my mortgages have a 2 month buffer ..... plus I have 6 month reserves saved.

You hired them to do a job AND give you a buffer between the day-today operations of being a property owner so you can do your best and highest work as a Real Estate investor.Why would you want to give your residents your direct contact information?

They accepted our lower offer which gives us a pretty fat buffer.

If it is as heavily wooded as you say, has a creek, and some natural amenities it might actually be worth more with 3 lots with preserved trees that allow for natural buffers between sites, instead of maxing out lots. 

If they say you will need new lids within 18 months then factor that in.May be wise to add a little buffer.

Transitioning from W-2 to full-time REI requires setting up a financial flow buffer, networking, and early education.Good luck!

Keep in mind renovation costs will need to be cash aside from your down payment and closing costs - I'd create a healthy buffer here.

Do any of you have ideas as to how I can buffer the noise in those vents?
