In Oregon my title company would give me update spread sheet of all NOD's going ( but keep in mind I was the largest buyer or one of them in the market at the time. 

Lastly, don't forget about other smart moves like using self-directed retirement accounts or 1031 exchanges to keep your tax bill in check.

Once everything is completely set up, I would be interested in selling two of the suites, while keeping the other two.

I don’t always raise the rent fully to market value in an attempt to try to keep the tenants.

Agree they are both tenants and you can't keep it from the other tenant.If she gives notice you can send them both their own move out letter which would give him a chance to react.Agree the other one can stay if they want to and qualify.We always designate one tenant as the primary, in the lease, and make it clear that they are the decision maker. 

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

I self manage enough properties that I doubt they would question me meeting the hours.So I don't keep a time log.

my hypothesis:-new construction: developers will take the hit in New construction by adding incentives into the market to keep market presence -used homes: will remain unsold as long homeowners can hold it and any need for sale it will be opportunities for new buyers and -for investors who buy with traditional financing it will be a breakeven market until interest start to drop and market prices to increase what do you think?

Keep this in mind when looking for a property!

Foreclosures, short sales, and off-market deals can provide these opportunities.Target up-and-coming neighborhoods with increasing home values rather than already hot areas.Research comparable recent sales and get an inspection to accurately estimate the after-repair value (ARV) before making an offer.Follow the 70% rule - the purchase price plus renovations should not exceed 70% of the ARV to leave room for profits after selling costs.Focus renovations on maximizing returns - kitchens, bathrooms, curb appeal rather than over-improving.Hire experienced contractors and have a project manager oversee work to keep things on schedule.Price the renovated home at or just slightly below comparable recent sales to facilitate a quick sale.
