I typically do most small jobs myself or find random handymen who do a decent/poor job.All leasing/property management is done by me today and I think it will remain that way in the future, even from afar.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

You need a local/state specific lease.2.

My tenants lease is due to end 2/2/2025, is it 30 day notice or 60 day notice of non renewal in CA?

I plan to put a $600 utility cap in the lease.

I have someone take care of scheduling maintenance and leasing it up and rents are paid directly into the IRA .

You'll learn a lot just from starting out like that with little to no experience at all (cosmetic renovation cost, managing current tenants, leasing out a unit).

Karen I was under contract last month for a house that had tenants on a month to month lease since their original 1 year lease had expired.

If it has any basis at all (such as you left the apartment during your lease term for what you felt was a justifiable reason and stopped paying rent, but the landlord disagreed) then you may be better off paying a rather small settlement.  

Start by deepening your understanding of CRE fundamentals, including net operating income (NOI), cap rates, and lease structures like triple net (NNN).
