If you look at real estate investing where your properties exists within a wider community, where rules are made so all can enjoy the area, maybe you'll look more favorably on those hard nose bureaucrats.And then in the neighboring suburban areas, where for years they resisted adding units to SFR which is what these areas are zoned for, they now allow adding mother/daughter units where folks could house aging parents an emerging problem.

This savings combined with the $80,000 HELOC ensure we will have enough for emergencies, down markets, etc.

Be ready to pay them well in emergency.

It's mostly for emergency services so that they have tenants contact information for emergency reasons.

Get your stuff serviced and you will reduce emergency issues.Like @Mark S. said, you should plan to visit once in a while.

I'm not sure about the legality in how to approach it but they just may tell you they have a substantial emergency fund in place or that the husband would be willing to do work outside of his comfort zone to make ends meet. 

Not an emergency but something I would do this year. 

Even the very poorest in America have access to food and shelter and free emergency health care.

I don’t provide services, but the tenant WILL provide me  drug tests on request, their health history, emergency contacts, agreement to work a program, etc.And that’s (one of the few) reasons why I think my CPA is incorrect.

Like their phone numbers, full names, e-mail addresses, emergency contacts etc.2.
