Landlords are so short-sighted when it comes to hiring property management companies and always mention some variation of, "but 8% seems a lot..." nearsightedness.How much do you really know about the following:1) Fair Housing laws2) Fair Credit Reporting Act3) Consumer Privacy Protection laws4) Local rental ordinances5) State eviction laws and procedures6) Etc...Everyone thinks property management is easy until something goes wrong...Aloha,And don't forget, EPA, OSHA, Zoning and Land Use Ordinances, Life Safety Code (NFPA 101), HOA properties, Insurance (property, liability, flood, cyber defense, worker's comp, and others). 

Hi EveryoneMy name's John Earle,  and I’ve spent about the last decade working in information technology (more specifically, cyber security in recent years).I’m finishing my MBA, and I’ve been doing a lot of research into Syndication and Crowdfunding; I see this as an excellent opportunity to build some wealth.With that being said, as with many things, it's what I don’t know about the process that will be my downfall (lack of experience, etc).I’m posting to see if anyone out there would be willing to mentor or partner on a project.

This could happen because a major employer makes a favorable decision.Imagine you hit a really great deal of a foreclosure in Missouri and a few weeks later it is announced that Tesla will build the cyber truck factory there.You 4 plex you bought and now renovate could be ready for above market rate rents due to the perfect location by the factory.

We had a security issue at a Denver metro area property a few years ago (some dumping in an alley and some graffiti on a shed) and believe it or not just hanging a sign that reads "This area monitored by video surveillance" along with some "No Trespassing" and "No Dumping" signs actually did the trick, haven't had any problems since.

Please share your thoughts and what you may use for doorbells, locks, and surveillance.

I took off all the spigot handles and posted a "Stealing water is a crime, Under Surveillance" sign next to all of them.

Setup surveillance for about $300 to thwart any potential theft incidents.

I worked at a hotel and often times during my shift would surveillance the parking lot and many guests would leave their lights or interior roof light on.

When I got the the bedroom I almost vomited from the smell.And the last one was an obvious drug dealer complete with the video surveillance system of people coming up the walkway and standing at his door.

I feel like cyber csi busting this person :D
