That is not my cup of tea.

Clogged toilets aren't always the tenants' fault (tree roots, shifting ground, city sewer line backups, etc).

The facts:Damage is from a tree falling on house.

As I just got home from a 2-mile walk with my dogs and got screamed at by a random meth addict and got to listen to a guy sitting in a tree telling the 'government' exactly what he thinks of them.

Right now I'm in the Monterey Bay area, but I miss the palm trees of SB. :)  Like @Joey Noel I too am investing out of state using turnkey companies. 

We actually live on and operate a Christmas tree farm just outside Houston and are considering putting a few tiny houses at the back of our property.  

My main interests right now would be Buy & Hold rental properties or possibly a flip.I'm thinking something super-informal over beer, coffee, tea, or food in the evening.

We live on a Christmas tree farm on 35 acres.  

I did a full rehab on the house including the following:new kitchen cabinets and granite counters with tile backsplashtile floor in kitchen and laundrynew appliances (no frig)new vanities in baths, tile floors, bathtubnew garage doors with openerslaminate wood floor in open living/family/dining areanew carpet in hall and 3 bdrmsall new heat/air registers and return air grillsall new outlets and switchesreplaced windows (vynil)removed all holly bushes at front and had a dead tree removed from backyardinterior paint replaced water heaterrepaired vynil siding and gutters as neededpower washed exteriorwood shutters on front windowsnew front door and storm doorI closed on the purchase of the house in Jan 15' and am scheduled to close on the sale side on July 10th.I am a remodeling contractor by trade and had every intention of doing my best to be "hands off" on the rehab, but it didn't work out that way.

What can't be crunched is reading the tea leaves to see if the environment (unique businesses to support rentals etc) moving forward offers the sustainability that a investor needs to see returns off said investments.
