If you later end up in court, then who looks more reasonable - the landlord that moved and stored the stuff for 30 days vs the tenant that abandoned their stuff, OR the landlord that just threw everything out because they were under the impression the tenant didn't want anything vs the tenant that provides a plausible excuse for not getting their stuff (medical emergency, whatever)? 

We have around $25k saved up for initial money, and will soon have over $12k for emergency funds.How are you dealing with fears (if you have them) of how the housing market is behaving?

Mechanical trouble with the car, a family emergency, reduced work hours, a bad health event, and 17 other common life issues could throw her off track and turn her from a tenant that barely scrapes by to a tenant that stops paying rent and drives you into the poor house. 

I was thinking to myself if i ever had to come into these units on emergency and fix something..

They never expressed it here but it may emerge eventually.

What reasons can you enter the property other than emergencies or advance notice inspections?

Here’s what I did/ am doing1) identified several smaller “emerging” STR markets I am interested in (based on estimated gross ROI, and demand drivers nearby), and confirmed the regulatory outlook looked safe going fwd.

Out of that 92k saved- we would take 16k out for 3 month emergency fund. 10k out for moving and breaking our current lease.

And also be available in an emergency situation to access the home if tenant is out of town or something and there is an issue requiring immediate action.

Am licensed at the State, pay a locality tax, a tourist tax, a $500 fee per house to the municipality, have to be "on call" and had to add a landline for emergency calls.
