I saved them from losing a lot of money to a total scammer (difficult scam to detect due to fake ID's and elaborate identity theft by the scammer.

I have a great team and a great contractor and don’t spend my time fixing toilets and leaks.

He lays out in great detail all the ways people screw them up, resulting in leaks and mold.

How can you meet with the realtor, go look at the property, write a check for a property inspector, have it sent to your address, get a bank loan lined up using your name and SS number, using your income to qualify for it, do the rehab yourself or pay a contracting firm where you supervise the quality etc, you advertise it, your the one they call to look at it, and you do the lease signing on it, you are who they call for problems like waterline leaks, you get the checks, you do the move out inspection, and you think you can remain anonymous? 

That costs an owner more if we send a handyman and bill for their time, but a licensed electrician is needed to fix the problem and the owner gets billed for both.Three hours to diagnose a leaking faucet sprayer seems slightly excessive.

The gas company should help you find a gas leak.

I want to require my renter to purchase renters insurance and add it as a condition of the lease with any damages to the property to be made payable to the home owner if the tenant is responsible for causing the damage with say a fire or unreported leak, etc. 

We had been inside the property several months before to meet with them and did not detect it then - they were burning incense (should have been a clue).

To your other points..PMs typically either do the evictions and appear in court or hire an attorney to do the evictions and you incur additional fees.When you go in to change the filters please take more time as the most important thing you're looking for are leaks in your plumbing system.
