We put together the following blog post which outlines tenant responsibilities as it pertains to security deposits - https://www.keyrenternorthjersey.com/blog/4f0f9d23-698f-49fe...Let me know if you have any additional questions!

I will educate myself better regarding laws so I can handle these matters effectively going forward.Quote from @Steve K.: Why would you need the tenants permission to send an inspector in?

You said it also effects your income till it's done so that would be another reason not to add another currently 

Continuous participation.This is great if you are talking about an SMB with effectively connected Real Estate.Note rental activity is considered passive unless you meet the RE Pro threshold of 750 hours and more than 1/2 your time.This is the conundrum for passive real estate investors.If you have a full-time job or a large, time-consuming business it can be difficult or impossible to qualify.A huge loss from depreciation if you have one LP investment isn’t going to do anything for you.

It’s especially effective in eastern PA, where competition and inventory can be tough.If you’ve got $80K, I’d suggest capping your initial spend at $60-65K.

I do not consider it as a game when the state laws protect safe unpermitted units and with ab2533 (that goes into effect Jan 1), the legislation has demonstrated that they desires these protections to continue.The reason to get the permit is not because something bad is likely to result from a safe umpermitted unit.  

Then you have someone who understands the investors goals well and the technical experts really working together effectively. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

If it would be more beneficial to have a structure, what are some cost-effective solutions?

I wish I could find someone local that I could sit down with, like the old days, and pick their brain on how to effectively edit and upload videos to YouTube.
