Check the big ticket items like roof, sewer line, windows, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, driveway, water damage, mold, termites, structural, etc.

Athe end of the year, I'm quitting my job and booking a 1-way ticket overseas.

So if I notice anything that could turn into a big-ticket item, I can send several contractors out to give me bids.

If the police write them a ticket or there are police reports, then I could use that in an eviction effort. 

I would bring the head title officer tickets to the 49er games and he would do a title search while I stood there and watched him.. quid pro . 

My worry isn't so much about the rent being paid and paid on time, but the headache factor...They scored 804 on smartmove, no outstanding CC balances/0 missed payments, no evictions, no disqualifying criminal history (just a speeding ticket).... 

Maybe not tomorrow in San Diego, so they may have to move to another town to find one, but I had to do it, and so can they.This is your investment, and you are not their winning lottery ticket, or charity.  

Better safe than sorry for big ticket items like HVAC systems.

You want to make it painful enough (like a parking ticket), but also not so much that it puts them in  'fear' mode.  

I would book a ticket.
