I increased their rent from $900 to $1050 in April, but the market rent in this area is $1200-$1600 for a 4/2.The odd thing is almost the entire neighborhood is a collective group that have lived there and rented from the same two landlords for almost as long.

The PM can make or break you--being remote, you will basically be at their mercy to deal with problematic tenants, find tenants and keep vacancy low, collect your money, find contractors... in short, every aspect of actually running the business. 

The weekly webinars on here are another great resource for sure. 

Much appreciated.With the collective wisdom of Bigger Pocket experts, I was trying to determine if I was missing some asset protection strategy that is standard with landlords..Thanks again!

But to classify people because of the resources they use is outrageous.

Does anyone have any good resources for an initial screening list of things to check for structurally or other issues a home inspector should find?

With the parts, labor and data collection computer, it cost us about $350 per door.

I'm not surprised, but I have yet to find any literature/resources that confirms that one year is required...

I would be happy to share some resources with you if you'd like.  

The VERY best resource you could efficiently absorb is the @BiggerPockets .com podcast (https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcast).
