Will research more on the process.  

The process went smoothly, and I’m happy I got a tenant so fast, but the high supply of new builds in the area makes me nervous.

It ends when they AND their stuff is removed to the level that allows you to begin the re-rental process. 

My assumption is that the majority of those were subsequently insured with Cal 'Safe' but I have no data to confirm that.

When managing multiple applications, it’s crucial to ensure your process is both fair and compliant with local, state, and federal housing laws, including the Fair Housing Act.A best practice to avoid any perception of bias or confusion is to process and work on one application at a time.

The tenant then decided to vacate the property and leave a mess in the process.

This can be especially helpful if you’re uncertain about repair assumptions or costs.If it’s a contractor you’ve worked with multiple times, involving them early in the process is often beneficial.

That being said, I had competing issues. 1) my wife and I are buying a new primary residence (much to my chagrin), and 2) in december, we bought a condo rental that is currently being renovated (a much lighter project) and that process is also a little stressful.   

Their team builds thousands of homes each year for investors, giving us access to great pricing, exclusive opportunities, and expert guidance.They’ve made the whole process so much easier, from connecting us with top lenders and management teams to offering tax-saving strategies and educational resources.

@Grace Chee The process for this is time sensitive, you should have gotten a TRIM notice around late August, early September.
