I currently own one unit in Florida and used to be a mortgage broker before I moved to California to work in the entertainment business..For the last decade I've given myself various financial "challenges" to help keep me focused.

For the first three months I was focused on the Decatur market.

Would love to hear a podcast special that just focused on investor nightmare stories (and how they were ultimately resolved). 

Also, I've been told Elmhurst is where I should focus for multifamilies as it provides some of the strongest rents, do you recommend focusing here as well?

I guess I need to focus now on providing that good clean housing. 

I'm thinking maybe a $500k policy.2) A document stating that the dog has never shown aggression and if either the landlord or tenant sees signs of aggression, the dog will have to be removed from the property immediately or lease terminated immediately.3) Post a Beware of Dog sign outside the home.4) I need to figure out how to word this...but they need to secure the dog in a separate room before answering the door for visitors.5) The tenant is responsible for securing the dog by whatever means necessary. 

You probably shouldn't focus on CRM. 

I would love it if someone could give me some direction on this subject as well so that I can properly focus my energies on making it happen.
