When we arrived to are Rental the yard was trashed and when we went to get the key out of the lock box it was not there.

If you try to GIVE them the number, that might make a person uncomfortable especially if they arrived to same exact same number on their own calculations (which they should if your facts are accurate).

Because of the abuse, neighbors fought back - and they are exceptionally organized, especially the older folks, and have a mission to make “homes, not hotels.”With these highly organized groups of neighbors that petition to their local governments, STR owners have earned a bad name.

Of course there is a benefit as a landlord does not have to wait/wonder if the rent will arrive each month. 

You have an impending deadline for an RFP and you want to file a petition to partition. 

However if a mobile home mover will allow the Title to be in someone else's name while they move the home to LA than you can simply wait to transfer the title to your name once it arrives in LA.

Fast forward 8 days of calls to the agent and said title company , trying to be calm and work with her, and trying to confirm the check arrived.  

How did you arrive at $35/mo?

I'll try to respond this since most people have enough of a life to not be on boards on Christmas Eve (actually my kids all arrive tomorrow).

Getting married, learning as fast as you can about RE investment, and acting on it before having children in order to position yourself to have more time for them when they arrive should be your motivation.
