This deal reaffirmed the value of speed and precision.

In the last few years, they've made illegal:-Rent controls of any kind-Limiting of fees or screening charges-The ability of HOAs to regulate STRs or LTRs in their neighborhoodThat's just the start.

Again, this is a factual action that will ensure that you remain in control of your property and that the other tenant has the peaceful use of the property that is a legal right.Fun, huh? 

This is precisely why everyone should insist on title insurance.

You have no control over this.

If you have checkbook control you’ll have a bank account with a bank that has FDIC insurance up to $250k per account.  

Haha, I don't precisely know how to explain it, but I value it when people disagree with me and point out things that I may not have considered or may not know.

A good ballpark is $1,000–$2,500 per unit, but this depends heavily on how extensive the turnover is and whether you’re self-managing or hiring contractors.If you’re looking for more precision, connecting with local property managers or contractors can provide insight into typical costs for properties like yours in the area.

I would like to be in control of my money, so I have always gone with the highest deductible posable and maximized cashflow.  

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).
