@Patricia Andriolo-Bull, not sure if they've iterated the system since you did yours, but now there's a button for downloading the filing transcript (a PDF containing all the info that you submitted). 

Now the tricky part is creating your underwriting standards and system.

All things being equal on the asset side, the operation and systems put in place will make or break the performance of the investment but at this point that has almost nothing to do with real estate. 

My property manager I don't think has a chance to relax, but she does have systems built around her to free up the time when it comes to regular maintenance and rent collection. 

You might find that installing a mini-split system, properly insulating, and ensuring the finishes match the main home’s quality will make a difference in how the appraiser views it.

Use a tiered approval process to give them control over larger expenditures while enabling quick resolution of smaller issues.2.Proactive Maintenance: Implement preventative maintenance programs to reduce costly emergency repairs and extend the lifespan of property systems.3.Monthly Reporting: Deliver detailed monthly financial statements that outline expenses, rental income, and ROI performance.By handling their funds with care and providing transparency,  trust is built with owners, ensuring they feel confident in the relationship.Making Tenants Feel HeardHappy tenants are the foundation of long-term occupancy and reduced turnover.

I have been using this system for the past 2 years and it has been absolute game changer for me!

And the more there is, the more log jammed the system get's, the longer they all take. 

Look for places that have had restrictions for a couple of years and have a more stabilized rule system.

In addition, I am considering changing my furnaces/boilers to have plug-in cords instead of being hard wired so that if there is a power outage in winter that I could power that heating system with a portable power station.
