Starting to have some discussions with turnkey providers and trying to soak up all I can here on the boards.One thing I'm wondering about is whether it's possible to access a lot of data pertinent to de-risking investment decisions.For example, one of the big question marks it seems is how good and headache-free your property management company is.

Is there anyway I can access tax delinquent properties ?

.)- If someone stops paying rent you may need to go through an eviction process- When screening tenants you need to do a thorough check of who you're renting to- There are several Fair Housing laws you need to be aware of when placing a tenantOften times, a PM company will even be able to cover their own cost by receiving the highest rental amount possible for your investment, most likely higher than you could by yourself due to the exposure and avenues they have for marketing.

We also had a pretty ugly run in one night when I asked her to stop smoking weed downstairs (all her smoke comes right into our unit).

@Steve Dye  I target them by doing pre-employment drug screens to gain access to the refinery in this town. 

Jesse, great Q and what I know for sure when you change CPAs or tax preparers or move, stop and start filing etc. you need to keep track of the depreciation schedules because when you go to sell the property, you're going to have to run the numbers from EVERY year that you wrote off depreciation to recapture it to calculate your gain upon sale.The other issue is are you hoping to get real estate financing in the next few years?

@Blair Matejak I think you should not speak to anyone about renting your condo.If there is no rule, they cannot stop you from renting.

For the price I could have probably picked up 6 doors or more in Memphis or another appreciating market in the south east but out of state was just too big of a leap for my first purchase and I wanted to A. stop paying rent and B. be able to leverage air BnB for more cash on all of my travel in a way I could not with my previous rental due to lease restrictions.  

If there's a part of the house you don't want to give them access, spell it out in the lease.

Do you have access to the land records to pull docs?
