Knowing exactly what’s happening with the duplex—rents, repairs, tenant feedback—can help you catch issues early and save time, stress, and money in the long run.

I think incorporating @Stuart Udis insights and adjustments, as well as @Jay Hinrichs is how get this clay into solid-gold. 

- Will we have to amend old tax returns or do it as a current year catch-up?

Depending on the state, when someone rents for a certain amount of time, usually 30 days or more, they become long term tenants in the eyes of the law, and they acquire "tenant's rights". 

Occasionally I catch some cleanliness issued that I am not satisfied with which I believe is due to variability in attention to detail between people on their crew, or lack of training and familiarity with my property.I've seen mentions of the value of post cleaning pictures from hosts on other forums.

Keep an eye on those delinquency rates and ensure that the property manager is proactive in rent collection.Maintaining open lines of communication with property managers is also part of the process.

Let me know what thoughts/reactions you have here, and I will incorporate into my more detailed blog publication coming in a few weeks.

I was talking to an investor who bought a multifamily in San Antonio recently, and the rent growth here has been eye-opening.

Nothing to do with water everything to do with building in fire prone These same areas have these fires every 20 to 30 years as the Shamece brush and manzanita brush grows back after being burnt to the ground.. it grows back to 10 to 20 foot tall and when that happens and it catches fire there is no stopping it.

What’s the catch - does anyone know?
