As people can easily take advantage of me and it is not easy to physically look at the property.

There are national vendors such as Clear Capital, LRES and Core Logic which all provide various physical property reports.

So far I haven't had any complaints from the tenants.Moral of the story...don't bother with physical traps or calling an exterminator; go with the poison pellets straight away.

The mortgage is a liability; however, they are taking on more debt, so it may be a wash, unless one takes out more than they have physically put in.That is true some gifting at a discount can help.

I physically will run out of money if this property keeps going at this rate.

If You don't want to physically maintain your investments and fix them up then maybe turnkey is an option for you.

If they are charging a management fee and than hiring a property management fee on top of that that is a no no but otherwise those are out of pocket costs since very few good syndicators are physically on site every day dealing with toilets because they have grown beyond that. 

Physical inspections would have shown the leaks.  

I use the physical address of the property as the name of the trust - i.e. - 123 Main St.

The reason I worry that it will plateau is that with everyone in the SF/Tech industry now working remotely, companies are realizing the insignificance of having people physically show up to an office.
