And not being able to issue the deposit refund via Avail was the final straw for me.

As far as financing, if you have real CF then it shouldn't be an issue.

Getting more mortgages does not help me with the two issues I outlined - spending less time on real estate and freeing up head-space.

If the commercial space isn't too disruptive, you shouldn't have an issue renting an ADU up there.

Thanks as always.RL What you were experiencing is actually more common than people want to admit.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

But the biggest issue is not being signed into both this account and my own at the same time.

It also allows the manager to work directly with the insurance company to resolve issues efficiently.In Texas, this is part of the standard Texas Board of Realtors Property Management Agreement and is considered an industry best practice.

Having the tenant be responsible for something like the first $1000 of each maintenance issue, or $500 can be a big help.

What is as important is that you require the insurance to be issued with you as the landlord as "additionally insured."
