@Jane A.Stock market is more like gambling on hoping that your stock improves in my opinion.

Much of the damage is "normal wear and tear" but the holes in every door and broken door jams is certainly not.

Tenants often like their water hotter than normal.  

Commercial can go from 5-35% down.  35% down on commercial is normal depending on what it is.

Normally installment sale has three components1) Your basis that is not taxed 2) Capital gain ( not taxed as your home qualifies for sec 121 gain exclusion) 3) interest - taxed at ordinary rate.  

-Is the $35 late on the 15th normal?

With our local STR's I get maybe 1-2 calls per month from guests needing something outside of my normal cleaning/maintenance process; and it's usually simple requests for things like an extra blanket or the cleaning lady forgot to restock toilet paper.

use Uber CAUTION here on these time lines.. no matter what systems anyone has.. the market will dictate.. you get one contractor who is slow or goofy.. your in market were DOM is 90 days plus .. loans take 30 to 60 days for the end buyer to process.. unless your selling cash to an investor.. etc etc..Market is slowing a little around the country... and getting back to normal..
