I look at this size park on a pretty regular basis, they are fairly common around me.

@Wes Blackwell writes essays on Sacramento on a fairly regular basis, check out his post history. 

All seasoned landlords out there,I have a situation with one of my rental properties, and hope you can share your thoughts how to handle it.I have been reading @Brandon Turner's managing rental properties book, and realize that I don't have a "regular property inspection" clause in my lease.  

And I don't want my money to be tied up too long so I can continue to invest or lend on a regular basis.And what are the advantages and drawbacks in doing this?

In my jurisdiction a CO monitor is mandated if you have a combustion source at your property, as is at least one smoke alarm per floor irregardless of a combustion source.

LOVE the airbnb idea, especially if we are next door to monitor that process.

Id recommend reading the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing by Brandon Turner, attend local REIA meetings regularly, and reach out the BP community with any questions and concerns you may have.
