@Michael NievesThere are rules about occupancy when you use a VA loan.Intermittent occupancy due to work is okay as long as you can show that you have a pattern of continuous residency in that community...

@Doug McVinua yeah I agree with the pattern of development in Phoenix.

Examples:January electric bill would be named "2018-01-25 - Shocking Electric - 123 Sample Street - OWNER" (because it's an owner bill, not a tenant)Lease for Jack Squat: "2016-02-01 - Lease Agreement - 123 Sample Street - Jack Squat"I follow this basic pattern for managing over 300 rentals and it works very well.Another great tool is to use a scanner with OCR software.

Look at the pattern of payment.

He stayed a further 3 years and repeated the same pattern of odd sized payments 4 times and once getting ahead by 25 days earning him a rent discount of 10% that month.He was not the only tenant that paid in odd amounts, only my best experience. 

Multiple properties indicates a pattern on their part of the PM rather than an exception for a particular owner.  

The vog (volcanic fog) here is worse than usual but the air quality according to the EPA fluctuates between "Good" and "Unhealthy" depending on the wind patterns. 

I want to be in a long term hold pattern and I prefer stronger urban areas with lots of jobs to hedge against a correction.

Within 3 days, this gray, splotchy, wavy pattern started appearing on ALL of the blinds in ONE side of the duplex.

I'm noticing a pattern.
