Because today is my fifth day of dumping BIO-CLEAN down a stack at the Christmas duplex that has been clogged for at least the last three months.

That, I would think, it better for you in either case.Boy, that would be nice, in Indiana, it just prevents them from entering the home and it sits as a big oozing mess on my property until the owner gets it done or I jump through all the legal hoops to get control of the title so I can get a permit to move and have a mover haul it off to the dump. 

You need to have someone that you trust but that also understands the market to keep your occupancy as high as possible.As far as tenant issues, even the best PM cant prevent these.

@Jason Malabute does sound like a rough year but acknowledging the challenges and taking them head on will prevent the same thing from happening in 2021.

There is no law that prevents you from renting a property out immediately after purchasing it.

I believe it tends to give me a slightly lower return, because the sponsor is going to be more careful, and if there is a severe downturn will prevent me from taking catastrophic losses.

For insurance, we joined a sort of Christian co-op that doesn't pay for preventative care, but did pay for emergencies, like when my son broke his hand. 

In the lease, it states that any person not on the lease can stay a max of 24 hours which prevents significant others from getting a free place to stay.

How do you prevent having too many properties stacked in a portfolio?

I would argue that if the blinds and curtains were open and they just happen to look that way, it should not count.Best thing you can do is talk to the lawn crew and tell them to avoid looking her way, do it by e-mail and have them confirm (it provides a record, it kind of sucks for the crew since there's a record, but it protects you because it shows that you took steps to prevent this action and not ignore it after you have been made aware of it).Hope this helps.
