Tenant moved in the first week of December and there's been an excess of communication from the owners for somewhat minor issues or concerns.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

@Avery Oblepias in general, paying for something you can learn online, is really paying for convenience and discipline.It's no different than paying for a personal trainer at a gym.Regarding S8, it's a pretty basic program that $5k seems a bit excessive for.Maybe, $1500?

Rent control in the bay area can be extreme as many areas have rent control in excess of the state mandated rent controlIn general experience RE investors are not choosing to add a single ADU in single family zoned areas.  

Focus on the big moves: security, renovations, and cutting dead weight. 

I too appreciated your response, so your recommendation will hold a lot of weight. 

“Lot of Excess Cash” trying to find a homebefore it gets devalued and before Interest rates go up further forfuture development.C.

The foundation was already approved, permitted and finaled years ago for a 3400 sf house, and its solid and I won't be building directly on the overhang edge; but rather back away from the edge a few feet to prevent any load issues all the weight will be on the longer sides of the existing footing.

We will quickly correct the excess spending, and fill the vacant units with quality residents.

@Tonya EnglishWithout a clear understanding of what this company does (or more accurately, does not do), the payment seems excessive compared to other services in the market."

If those things did not occur, some regs may have been violated by licensees.Regarding marketable title, unless the "liens" were in excess of $255,000 IMO there would not be an argument that the seller could not deliver marketable title.
