If you are sued the person who gets your money and your property won’t care how you were holding it.

Assuming it's written in your management agreement somewhere that states the owners are current on all financial responsibilities related to the property, does anyone require them to actually provide a current mortgage statement, HOA payment record, taxes paid, etc..... at least at the time of the original management agreement signing.Recently had a new owner sign the agreement, only to find out after we had secured a new tenant for them, that they were in financial distress to say the least (inquiring about bankruptcy) .

Save up ~$10k in HYSA emergency fund2.

Have you come across any interesting models or success stories that could be applied more broadly across the state?
