This is where smoke/CO detectors, grounding, electric garage door reversers, and other goodies came from.If the municipality performing the U&O calls out an item, Seller is stuck with resolving it either by fixing it or negotiating it with the buyer.

The only silver lining is this property performance so bad, that it helps offset the gains from my other 10 homes. 

I don't know about your idea of maths but to me that says Midwest performs at 2X of CA. 

A net rental income analysis will be performed to determine the net cashflow from each property.

You also need to make sure this lender is able to perform on their promise. 

Because they aren't traditional tenants in the sense with a 1 year lease and to determine fit for the house, I like to start everyone on 2-4 month leases and see how they perform.

With my increased AirBnB performance, I decided to turn 2 other rental homes into short term rentals and decided it was worth investing in proper training to make sure I was doing it right. 

We own a mid term rental in Temple that has performed very well.

I believe it is a larger issue than what we define as the economy, which is mostly measured in corporate profits and Wall Street performance, this is not what the average person perceives.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?
