However, if you decide to look out of state, or even in California cities like Oakland or Stockton or San Bernardino, you'll need to think carefully about crime.

I don't know about other brokerages, but the one I went to just cared that you passed the state exam.

We have people posting borderline shady antics in here daily   I don't get when a person passes why the landlord has to  wait weeks be4 taking care of business.

He wasn’t my first choice, but a “convenient” situation caused me to select him.

Then you could tell them a more qualified applicant applied during this phase and you have selected them.You could consult a local attorney to confirm this is the best path.

Also, one of the tenants is the one that notified me of the chimney leak into the stairwell, so letting them know we took action right away helps build the relationship with them so they know we care about the property. 

Property management is going to be much more than you are figuring I don’t care what that realtor told you those pm have fees stacked a mile high for every little thing they do so don’t get comfortable with that 6% figure .

It'll cut down on noise and you can trust yourself to keep good care of it.

Your Solo 401k cannot rent properties to disqualified persons (you, your spouse, your parents, grandparents, children, and your grandchildren are examples).This is true whether you manage the rental or a property management company takes care of the logistics.
