regular inspections while a tenant is living in a property will help reveal this type of issue.. but I'd still double check attic , downspouts and roof venting.you don't want a repeat. 

There are also meetups in Trenton, & New Brunswick that all meet fairly regularly.

Thank you.In the context that I have no real familiarity with the concept and I'm using only general business principles in these suggestions it seems to me that:1) Sebastian's concern, while legitimate, can probably be dealt with by way of options to renew within the lease (perhaps extending out 5 years or so); and,2) Andy's comment about extra security deposits between him and the owner being limited by law (though I'm not advocating that you should provide higher deposits than you are suggesting) may be worked around via a lease that, while similar to regular residential leases in wording, is designated as a commercial lease (a business-to-business lease) which it surely is anyway. 

I analyze properties pretty regularly (my focus is on 2-4 unit multifamily).

(b) A landlord or his agent may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the tenant:(1) At any time in case of emergency-prospective changes in weather conditions which pose a likelihood of danger to the property may be considered an emergency;(2) Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of providing regularly scheduled periodic services such as changing furnace and air-conditioning filters, providing termite, insect, or pest treatment, and the like, provided that the right to enter to provide regularly scheduled periodic services is conspicuously set forth in writing in the rental agreement and that prior to entering, the landlord announces his intent to enter to perform services; or(3) Between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for the purpose of providing services requested by the tenant and that prior to entering, the landlord announces his intent to enter to perform services.

Very helpful.Apologize for not responding sooner, but been crazy busy just trying to get started with utilities...living 2 hour away from property while still having a regular work!

While Airbnb is great, it is like applying for a loan while on self employed (airbnb) or w2 income (regular long term tenants).

In 2017 I took the leap and now have a live in flip (will wrap up in March), a triplex, and an air bnb (transition to regular rental in 2018).

I’m a regular at the South Bay meetings which are held in El Segundo.

Our pitching coach pointed out that even all-stars lose fairly regularly and to use the fear of failure to fuel my preparation/training habits.
