Hi everyone, we are thinking of charging a monthly maintenance fee to cover our semiannual preventative maintenance inspections (where we check for leaks, clean the AC unit, replace the furnace filter, etc.) and also a once a year gutter cleaning. 

First one was most expensive, needed new air compressor, new stain, and all new furniture, ~$15k (1BR + loft).  

This is typically part of the screening process to ensure that the property meets occupancy standards and to prevent overcrowding.

Thorough tenant screening and ensuring the property is well-managed can prevent these issues.Misjudging Refinance Timing:Timing the refinance is tricky.

Doing both flips and BRRRRs, if possible, would prevent you from locking up too much liquidity into a deal or numerous deals, thus allowing you to continue to scale.

There are camera services you can have set up that may be useful to you to spot these things but they won't prevent the damage from happening.Good Luck!

In fact it may actually complicate litigation in the event a claim were to arise while adding additional insurance expenses to your real estate operation.To explain why this is the case I’m going to ask one very simple question: In the event a tenant dispute, premises liability, or any other claim were to arise, what prevents the Plaintiff’s attorney from merely listing your wife who it seems is the property deed holder in your fact pattern as a Defendant?

I imagine that some DSTs are failing, but the question is how prevent that is, and what are the circumstances of those DSTs in trouble versus those that are meeting their return expectations.
