@Nathan@Nathaniel Shaw Just curious, where did you get the system for the process you are trusting in? 

Depends on if you subscribe to having only tenant owned homes versus being okay to manage the park owned ones.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of the system.

HVAC is one of many explicitly defined building systems. 

Especially, when you get a tenant who knows how to work the system. 

I will say sales fees are less impressive to me versus an owner operating track record, and no experienced owner operators I converse with in DC multifamily or commercial use this platform.  

Being on opposite side of world requires many systems in place to remote manage, but technology these days have made it possible.

Thanks,Ben It's best to take a small amount of $5,000 to $7,000 and take a trip, buy a "toy" or something, just to get money out of your system.

But just as I dont feel bad for a thief being robbed, I dont feel bad for a landlord that tries to skirt the system, and then gets played by the same system he's trying to skirt.Do things right, and these things arent an issue

I usually ignore where one person owns 4 or more properties as this is usually a cash strapped investor that will pay at the last minute.Properties that were transferred recently or has a new house also likely has a mortgage and the mortgage company will step in if the owner doesn't pay the taxes.I keep pruning down my list till it is managable.Then I start looking at them on the GIS system so that I can see what is (or was) on the property and the property lines.
