Although the lease parameters were communicated clearly in the lease agreement and verbally while signing, he clearly did not understand them as well as most.

I'm finding communication is huge in understanding what good tenants want.

Honest, clear and kind communication is the best.

Eventually, when you can afford it and have confidence in the deal, there are people you can pay to do the research for you that are much more efficient at getting the relevant info, and deciphering the non-sense that sometimes is the San Diego building records.Good luck,Brian

That will be based on what the highest and best use is, how much profit you could make with each scenario, how efficiently you can manage the sale(s) from long distance, what your likely buyers would want, etc.

If you have done a flip yourself, you know that each of these tasks could be a full time job in and of itself.I find that I spend the majority of my time dealing with the little things that come up during the rehab process (I'll spare you the details - but they are many).My question is this - how to I scale this business so I can be more efficient?

Its just a matter of communicating your idea to a programmer, and their ability to code it.
