In fairness, that could be due to disruption from all of the construction.Our current PM has done a good job maintaining the property, but more and more I find myself having to get involved in day to day issues. 

A good PMC screens for and attracts the right tenants, for a much lower price. 

Both have good school districts and are desirable.

There's a very good chance the issue(s) you face have already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

As long as you are willing to play the long game you don't really have a reason to be overly nice or flexible with this tenant.

I am trying to house hack (3.5% down, owner-occupied, rent other rooms) in the Bay Area (driving distance about an hour from Redwood City and SF).

new to this and just looking for some advice guess i really i don't no where to start so any advice is appreciated bought my first house in may and thing seem to be going well so far its more of a boarding house / house hacking roommate situation with people i know for the moment plan on doing some things to up the equity but am limited on funds i know the neighbors house just sold for a bit more then i paid for mine so that's a plus and mine is nicer and in better shape i have almost no debt for the most part except the current mortgage on said house don't make much from my day job less then 3k a month after taxes and have good credit. i guess i just really need to know where to start should i be starting a LLC or something similar?

They were all long plays. 

It's always good to shop around for rates and program options

A good private money lender should be transparent about terms and fees, have a solid track record and experience in real estate, and demonstrate flexibility in tailoring loan options to meet your needs.
