Both my mentor and our mutual real estate attorney both strongly recommended filing a mechanics lien at time of closing. 

I would love to do auto pay, but don't know how to set that up.Thanks. 

But if you're doing electrical, plumbing or mechanical, you need permits and that usually requires licensed subcontractors.  

I'm not sure if Al was trying to challenge me or throw me under the bus ;-)The parts are all readily available ... replacing the coin mechanism with a card reader and/or keypad would be fairly straight forward ... and a lot easier/cheaper to maintain.

I feel that when I get an email notification and click the link it should auto-log me in.

Umbrella policies are only available if you maintain auto insurance and home owners insurance and landlord insurance that includes liability coverage for certain amounts.

What's the difference between the GeorgiaMLS (open to the public, as far as I can tell) and the FMLS (which my agent uses to send me the auto updates)? 

with a 12 month history... but that is OKAY if you can come up with a 12 month payment history for auto insurance, renters insurance, utilities, etc. to make up for the lack of accounts.

- Get landlord insurance- Find out when trash fees and taxes are due- Inspect all units, list any repair needs, appliances, mechanicals, age and condition; check smoke detector batteries and for leaks (take pics?)

Most are glued down with a special type of epoxy rather than mechanically fastened but the hardest part will be finding something that matches the decor of the house.
