If it gets to it, the threat of a complaint to real estate commission is pretty powerful in TX so maybe it’s the same in FL.

It is the #1 destination for real estate, bar none.As agents we collectively gave them that power, in the early days if the MLS was smart they would of been the zillow of today. but with all the infighting, gross duplication of efforts, protected profits and sheer shortsightedness on the MLS's part if they made a national MLS it would of been a different story and agents would have continued the monopoly [good or bad depending on your stance].

I tell them to change the batteries when i send them the lease renewal or else theyll get locked out. seems to work well so far.

And then to prove their power they threaten you with penalties because now your old paint has faded and is not in compliance with the approved colors, or it is peeling or whatever.The POA is controlled by folks that moved here from NY, east coast, etc, not locals and they have let their position go to their heads, plus they really like rules to control others.

If their margins are 60 cents per gallon, there is a lot of negotiating power there!

Hello Biggerpockets members,My name is Shahaf and I'm a software Engineer from Israel, it's my first post here.I'm studying the power of passive income and real estate investing(rental properties) for a while now,I'm really interested to start investing in the U.S but not sure how it's going to be managed,I mean I can fly like a couple of times a year, but is it really possible to do that remotely?

The power line comes down along back of house so it's easily accessible and should be straight forward. 

It's a very powerful application of sec 1031. 

I would go as far as to pay a company to power wash the alley with them there.

Someone may advise to simply crank up the power, but many times that makes the problem worse.
