As for changing the tax mailing address:  In many counties in CA it's as simple as filling out an online form.  

You go and find a note you want to purchase, fill out the "Direction of Investment" form from the IRA custodian and submit it in. 

Our job as real estate investors is to fill this need.

Well I've been talking to a property management company who has good success renting homes in the area with a very low percentage of them vacant and new vacancies are usually filled with in a month so when I go to refinance it will hopefully still have a paying tenant.

I can not understand why the owner of the hotel or the general manager would pay me 27 an hour and the waitresses 40 an hour when we could easily be replaced with people making 15 an hour.The maintenance department is constantly short staffed because of high turnover and then they have a lot of trouble filling the position because of how much knowledge is needed. 

First you need to fill in what the seller or broker has simply failed to include.

Would filling the basement with concrete fix it?)

I have a property that was 50% vacant when I bought it and it has take longer than I expected to fill it with decent tenants.
