4.Update to use LLC name for utilitiesIs there anything else that I need to do or is missing?

That seemed fair enough, since at that time they had only missed on day that they were supposed to be there. 

Extremely high rents in the area made this investment a can't miss.

If you're searching in 3 very different markets and aren't quite sure what you're looking for, this could lead to you missing one of those important deadlines. 

My question is if you were me, would you look harder at other OOS markets, or continue to focus on the strong growth in my area but make sure to name my price and stick to it even if it means missing out on some deals that are overpriced.

What am I missing for expenses if I am self-managing?

Not to mention the revenue you miss out on if this is an investment property.I would certainly talk to your agent if you had one.

anything else that I might be missing? 

If you/your CPA haven't leveraged the Tangible Property Regulations (TPRs) and cost segregation on these, you are likely missing some needed cash-flow and tax benefits that are available to you.

Missed it, yeah 8 acres is small for a functional vineyard without something else supplementing it.
