So to answer your question, check the DOM in your area , if condo DOM is less than 5 days then it's good especially if SF DOM is less than 5 days too. 

You should have a blog on your website that has a signup popup.Feed those signups into a Constant Contact, Mailchimp, etc CRM and send out a weekly/monthly eNewsletter of your blogposts.You'd also manually enter any targets into that CRM.You can check out how we've done it:)

i think it is very difficult to live off of the 'cash flow' from long term rentals, and it takes either a handful of quality, paid off properties or 10-25 leveraged properties depending on your market.making back your down payment in 2.5 years is actually really good - which makes me skeptical of that deal =) you can post the numbers here if you want.finally - check this thread out. 

A $25 rent increase next year seems reasonable, but be sure to check market rates in your area to be sure it's a competitive price.

You might be right about the deferment, I'll check

Check comps to see if they have new roofs, a/c etc. if a comp is selling for $300 without those things, yours is worth more.

You should check your property zoning.

Just a lot of boxes to check off.

Can the account be a personal checking account instead of business because we have the property in our own names?
