**"Cash for keys" is a strategy that landlords can use to encourage a tenant to vacate a property without having to go through a formal eviction process.

I strongly  encourage to share this information  and write an email and letter to as many state representatives and the governor to veto this bill or reverse  it.AB 2424 (Schiavo)

When you set up the showing, repeat your main requirements, ask a few questions, and encourage them to pre-screen themselves so they don't waste money or time.3.

Once you have your permit from the city, they tend to ghost you and wont answer questions during construction or help in any meaningful capacity.

If you have any advice, recommendations or words of encouragement..

So I encourage, go to Africa, the Med., Indo-pacific, South America, Eastern Europe, find out 1st hand the reality of things.

@Tony Thomas Even though it does not appear there are any meaningful tax advantages, I believe the lesson to be learned here is to focus on making business decisions that are best for the real estate and operation of that real estate.

@Josh WellsRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You need to have a mechanism to remove tenants who are a problem, and I would strongly encourage you to consult an attorney the moment you close to get your lease terms right.

You acquire real estate that has meaningful appreciation that can be realized, not merely buying a bunch of doors in stagnant markets with appraised equity that's can't be realized when the property is sold.
