I would recommend having an automatic exit strategy (e.g., after 3 years you sell regardless).

In my tests, at least, a service contract like a listing would automatically end, but a purchase contract should be honored by the estate unless the court decides it shouldn’t.

Is this an automatic no go?

A lot of the online calculators will automatically input 5% for both capex and maintenance and then you can usually edit it if you use a different number.

In other words, "great deals" are not going to automatically pop-up on Zillow at every page.

We are taught and automatically born into a system that turn us into "financial slaves" or "financial soldiers" of the system.  

For example our local gas and electric company (Baltimore Gas and Electric) has a program called the Automatic Change Name program that PMCs can enroll in.

Set it up on a system like apartments.com that automatically collects the rent for you and find a good handyman that can help when you need it, which will not be often.

It was clear to both parties, with email exchanges confirming that the end date is July 15th and that there will not be renewal of lease.However, I forgot to stop the automatic rent collection through Zillow, resulting in the tenant paying the full July rent on July 10th, which has already been transferred to my bank account.

When I followed up and asked for a specific reason (thinking it might require an additional payment towards principle to put me under the threshold) they wrote back informing me that investment properties do not qualify for automatic termination and that PMI will remain for the life of the loan and if I want to remove it I can look into refinancing.
