Is it better to just use your standard cell phone? 

Also, in my municipality, if it gets too bad the city will come out and mow it and send a nice fat bill for doing so. 

Best to get tons of insurance a hold personally on the first few properties, but there are other factors.You may need to look at a business license with rentals or your LLC, one for each.Off had suggestion, look to a Series LLC in TX, one cell may own, the LLC manages or another cell could manage.

I have such fat fingers for such a small keypad.James 

The crap I have to deal with on the SFRs and that Duplex far outstrip any issues I have had with the HOAs (and one I would rate as a huge PITA that has to have a police detail at the annual meeting because the board is hated that much they fear for their safety).However I have this fat check I have to write out every month on them, even on the ones that are "Free and Clear" that DO cut into the cashflow.  

You should only need to fill in the highlighted cells, however I left them all unlocked so you can see my formulas and can tweak them if you need to.I'm always welcome to feedback, if you think there is info I missed, miscalculated, or a way to make it clearer, let me know.http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/ericksonss10/file/commercial-rent-rollI hope it helps someone out!

Dark Green: Cash Flow > $200Each cell shows the calculated monthly Cash Flow for a given purchase price and Rent-to-Price ratio.

Don't bother the HR department unless they are signing the lease (fat chance of that happening).

With computer and world cell service there is no way you will ever have to be out of total contact.Landlords do not "disconnect".
