I do understand that they don't want to pass out a lease they basically paid for that could end up being used in that community, but it also tells me they are pretty locked up in thier thinking, probably due to thier attorney.I'd say reviewing the lease prior to hiring them would be more than reasonable and you should be able to add any addendum you like, so long as it doesn't violate local law or custom and it doesn't make thier job leasing more difficult.It also tells me that in the event any issue pops up, this PM may lack experience in dealing from a managerial standpoint attempting to follow strict guidelines, doesn't sound like they might be ver flexible, even if common sence should prevail.Could be too you need to do some more stroking, making the PM more comfortable with your requirements.PMs need to understand they represent you, you drive the bus and they oversee your directions.

As a SFH investor, I think you're going to find it extremely difficult to get to 25k a month.At some point, you simply can't manage all the properties yourself and now you've got overhead and then things have to expand even more to get to that number.

Those that simply "pop" will have the same issues to renew.And, most banks will be asking for current financials as they are required for audits.

In fact, most mentors I know do it because they came to their success through being mentored and are simply "paying it forward."

There are a million things people do for convenience or because of lack of education in a specific area.

You really have no concern with the old DOT, like Jon said, they simply file a Deed of Release.

For the remaining entries in your list, simply pull them up on your Appraisal District website as you have done.

All,Sorry for the lack of updates!
