Nicholas First I want to thank you for all of the help you've been providing to so many people here on Bigger Pockets this string of messages is a huge wealth of knowledge all in itself.I know one of the biggest mistakes you've mentioned that people make is the failure to establish an in service date for the rental property early, I may have made this mistake but I want to check to see if you think I'm technically covered or not.I closed on a property in October and the house overall is a solid property, just lipstick and polish needed for the most part to get it up to speed.

If you do catch them, pressing charges and getting police to do anything is next to impossible. 

If you are set on having rentals in high crime areas, I recommend trying to house police officers. 

The police were called due to the noise.

Everyone always knows where to find it.Things to include: Water shut-offGas shut-offBreaker panelAir Filter size and locationWater filter size and locationSprinkler instructionsPhone numbers to utility providersEmergency phone numbers (fire, police, poison control)City Code Enforcement (complaints about noise, parking, etc.) 

I'm a Realtor and Investor in Southern California and I've used various programs for first time buyers, military, teachers and police officers, so why not single moms? 

Remote can be...Marketing, Lease Signing, Lockouts (install coded smart doors), background checks & screening, Virtual Tours, Payments (online or ACH debits)Live In Person (local team)...Showing units, Posting Notices, Evictions, Dealing with Complaints (some need live interaction), Maintenance Calls, Property Condition Tours, Meeting Utility Companies, Meeting Contractors, verifying Contractors work, Live personal touch with residents (can improve tenant relations depending on property), Cleaning, Turns, Police CallsThrough the years, I've learned that there are places to save money and places to invest. 

Dallas proper is a concern for example with 1000 police officers short. 

Oh, and they were gone by the time the police got there.Just curious how your honesty policy protects your family?

Also check the address online to see if anyone died in the home or if there were any police actions there.
