For the experienced out of state SFH landlords - apologies if this question gives away my "newb-ness" but what is the difference between a home warranty and home insurance?

If he has to move and suggests he will trash the place, give him a 24-hour notice to enter every two weeks with the excuse you are going to do some repairs...find something simple you can do like caulk around shower enclosure and do it meanwhile conducting a visual inspection to see if he is causing damage. 

I just visualize what my company is going to be and I've always envisioned my business being it's own seperate entity with it's own books, etc.

@Matt Holmer, our discussion got me thinking and I decided to tinker around in Google My Maps to see how I could visualize this data.

The Cuyahoga County auditor's website does show owners' address. http://myplace.cuyahogacounty.us/They just switched to a new system that is SO MUCH better than the old one, both in ease of use and visuals (bigger font, a big map right in the middle).

The later I believe is attainable through real estate investing.I am a happily married father of 2, and I currently run the Audio Visual department for the Hyatt Valencia, soon that will include the Double Tree Bakersfield.  

90% of the time you can see the plumbing issues with visual inspection.

Spend several days visualizing the entire process and writing out a complete list of tasks.

Personally, I do worry about shingle color, because depending on the roof pitch and size relative to the rest of the house, it will have 30% to 60% of the visual impact when you first look at it.I have replaced shingles more than once just because I couldn't make the existing color style work with the rest of the house.They look like a dimensional/architectural shingle from the picture (not a cheap 3 tab still used in our area).

Also, here is a thread you may want to follow as it will be a good visual step-by-step lesson. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/259...
